PARENT PORTAL
A member of
Parent Committee
Elected each year by the parents’ community, the Parents’ Committee is composed of 12 members (6 elected members and 6 reserve members) who represent the school from Maternelle to Lycée.
The Parents’ Committee is first and foremost the official representation of all IFS parents and as such has 6 seats on the School Committee and can also sit on the Educational Committee. This representation is essential to bring the voice of the parents to the governing bodies of the school. The Parents’ Committee allows the parent delegates to bring new perspectives to the school and to help create links between teachers and other parents.
