P A R E N T S   AIS Egypt believes that a successful school is the result of building a strong communication network.  Our goal is to create a school that emphasizes a partnership between school and family, providing an environment of openness, responsiveness and communication.  An environment that places the child's wellbeing at the center. Communication between parents, teachers and administrators is vital for our students' success.  Therefore, we have systems in place to ensure that parents are regularly informed of their child's growth and success.   Communication Strategies Our home/school communication strategies include :     parent/teacher conferences to be held twice a year     the use of student planners     regular AIS Egypt and Middle School newsletters     invitations to plays, presentations and performances     invitations to Middle School Celebration of Achievement     Assemblies to be held each term     progress reports and report cards to be distributed each term     regular parent coffee meetings     letters and calendars outlining school activities and events     online grades and calendars for parent and student access     (in progress, to be advised)   Parent Conferences Formal parent/teacher conferences are held twice a year, once in November and once in April.  More information on formal conferences is sent home prior to the conference dates. Outside of those formal times, requests for individual teacher conferences must be scheduled at least one day in advance through the Middle School Office.  Tuesdays and Thursdays are set aside for parent/teacher conferences.  Students are invited to be a part of the conference.   At AIS Egypt we look forward to working together to ensure that your child's educational experience is a positive and successful one.
