Communication at the International School of Samui

Communication

We believe that the most rewarding education for children is achieved through an active partnership between home and school. Great emphasis is placed on the involvement of parents. Through an active Parent Teacher Association (PTA) and regular communication between school and home, we aim to ensure that the needs of the children, the aspirations of their parents and the aims of the school are understood and shared.

Homework Diary

Each child will have a "Homework Diary" which they take home each day. The diary is signed by both teacher and parent. As well as important information, dates and events for the term, the diary records homework along with any messages between teacher and parents.

Reports

Written reports are sent home in Term 1 and Term 3. Verbal reports are given at the Parents' Evenings.

Behaviour

All staff, children and parents are expected to follow ISS's Code of Conduct, details of which can be found in the secretaries office.

Parent Information Site

A dedicated parent information site is available online. This site is accessable from every page on the schools website. Please click this link to view the site. It is designed to provide up to date information on all aspects of the school.

Parent Teacher Association

The PTA have a very active and diverse role in fundraising and non-academic aspects of school life. Notices from the PTA will be posted on the school notice boards.

Concerns or queries
