AIS Parents’ Association (AISPA)

 

The primary objective of the Parents Association is to promote community spirit at AIS. Whether you are new to AIS or a long-term family, there is something for everyone in our community.

In addition to the many events held throughout the year, we are here to help you and your family settle into school and life in Singapore, providing information, resources and friendship. We know that all of our parents are busy with the demands of everyday life, but we also know that even a small contribution of your time and energy can significantly contribute to our efforts to foster a vibrant and nurturing community.

It is a wonderful opportunity to meet other parents and get involved in the life of the school. We welcome your participation and assure you that it is a worthwhile endeavour that you will find personally rewarding and fun!

Join us on the AIS Parents’ Association (AISPA) app called Classlist. Click here and you can join your class or year-level parent chat groups as well as AISPA interest groups and events.

AIS Car Decals

Security access to the AIS Campus is very important to us. For the safety of our students, you are required to register your vehicle IU number online to allow personal vehicle access to our school.

After you have registered for the Connect Parent Portal you can apply for a car decal.

You may collect your car decals from the receptionists at Gate 1 (for Year 3 to Secondary) and Gate 3 (for Infant to Year 2) on the first day of school.

Parent Pass

The safety of your children is of utmost importance to us. As such, we seek your assistance to display your Parent Pass when you enter or are within the campus.

Please apply for a Parent Pass by submitting your photo via this form, setting the file name as your FIRST NAME_LAST NAME (e.g. John_Doe).

Once your parent passes are ready, it will be given to your youngest child. If your youngest child is in Secondary, they will be informed when it is ready, and be requested to pick up the parent passes for you.

We will do our best to process your application as quick as possible but please take note it could take 1-2 weeks. In the meantime, if you are visiting the school you will need to register at the security gate.

AIS Laptop Program

All our Secondary School students are required to supply their own Apple laptop for use at school. We believe that students having their own device will foster a greater sense of responsibility and allow them to customise their learning environment to better suit their needs.

To assist parents, who need to purchase a new laptop, AIS has secured a beneficial arrangement with our designated IT Vendor, Innocom. This includes a discounted bundle that comes with AppleCare and additional gifts.  You can view and order the recommended laptop through the vendor’s website.

Once a laptop has been selected for use, students must first present the device at the IT Service Desk on Level 3, Block B, for registration and configuration to enable its use on the school network and to also activate the Self-Service App Catalogue.  This can be done at any time during school term, school holidays or for new students at Orientation or the first day of school.

Students will then be able to use the use Self-Service App Catalogue to conveniently install the necessary applications required for their curriculum. The following instructions detail how to install the required applications for your studies.

Canteen Services (Sodexo)

Canteen services are a critical part of the School’s provision, not least because we are all aware that nutritionally balanced food options for children can encourage them to engage in healthy eating habits as they continue to grow. Our school canteens cater for students in Early Years, Elementary and Secondary according to their age-specific needs and preferences.

The two AIS canteens are managed for the School by Sodexo. Founded in 1966 by Pierre Bellon in Marseille, France, Sodexo is now the worldwide leader in Quality-of-Life Services. In Singapore, we have over 300 Sodexo Education staff serving more than 10,500 meals every day. They have been working with schools and colleges since 1999.
