For the Parents
The partnership between school and home is crucial for the success of our students. Regular, informative, forthright communication between teachers and parents provides the strong support that children and teenagers require for their overall growth and development. This support extends beyond academics, encompassing emotional, spiritual, and behavioral aspects as well. Therefore, building robust and healthy relationships within our school community is a top priority for us.
Effective communication is maintained between the school and home through emails, phone calls, and newsletters that parents regularly receive from teachers. Additionally, parents are invited to attend Meet & Greet at the start of each school year, a teacher/parent conference each semester and additional meetings with teachers or administration if the need arises. Parent requests for meetings with staff are always welcomed and accommodated. Parents are able to view their students' current grades and assignments by accessing their Sycamore account.
Arriving at School
Parents dropping students off must use the designated entrance. Access is controlled by security, and entry is limited to authorized individuals. Follow staff directions at all times. On-time arrival supports a safe, orderly process and uninterrupted learning.
Staff are present to supervise arrival and assist younger students.
Students proceed to their assigned areas under supervision.
Late arrivals follow the same controlled entry and must check in as directed before joining class. To protect safety and learning, late arrivals are strongly discouraged.

BIS school uniforms may be purchased at Sasse Uniformes. The store is located in SHCGN 701/711, Bloco B, Store 43, Asa Norte, phone number (61) 3349-1010 or through their website https://asanorte.sasseuniformes.com.br/uniformes-colegios/brasilia-international-school.

Holidays & Absence
The school calander with scheduled holidays is posted prior to the beginning of the school year. Parents should make every effort to coincide travel plans with school closings.
Students who will have a planned absence for more than two days should inform their principals and teachers and request classwork in advance. Students will be expected to make up and submit online or in-person upon their return to school all missed classwork, homework, quizzes and tests.
Parents should call or email the school nurse to report an absence of a student due to illness or medical appointments.
