Volunteer Opportunities at TIS
Dear Parents,
It is hard to believe that we have almost finished the first month of the new school year! It has been a smooth transition and we are grateful for the ongoing support we have received from the TIS community.
At this time, we would like to invite parents to become more involved in the school community. Parent volunteers are a powerful resource and support base for our school. We currently have two opportunities available for interested parents to lend a helping hand:
Volunteer Lunch Supervision
Many of our teachers are currently managing extra teaching loads as we wait for the borders to re-open so our new teachers can join our team. In addition to teaching more classes, our teachers are also carrying out extra lunch supervision duties. We would like to lessen their load by having interested parent volunteers assist us with some of these responsibilities. Supervision hours are from 11:30am -12:00pm (Elementary) and 12:00pm-12:30pm (Secondary). Parents can volunteer for one or both times and for any number of days during the week. We ask that volunteers make a commitment until the Christmas break.
Please note that as part of ongoing commitment to student safety, parents will be required to do the following prior to their first supervision shift:
Fill out the Macau health declaration prior to entering the school.
Get a police check (Macau ID Dept, Rua de Coimbra n.º 225, 3.º andar, Nova Park, 3rd Floor, Taipa)
Sign a Child Protection Policy form
We would be happy to assist you with the above process and are looking forward to having you on campus.
TISPA Class Representatives
We are currently looking for ‘Class Parent Representatives’ to help us foster communication and conversation between parents and each class. If you would like to contribute to your child’s class, we invite you to send your child’s homeroom teacher a private/direct message.
If your name is selected to be a Class Rep, your child’s homeroom teacher will contact you to inform you of your duties and responsibilities. Parent reps will meet with the school leadership team on a monthly basis to share information and gather feedback.
More information about the above volunteer opportunities will be provided at Curriculum Night on Thursday, September 24th.
Thank-you for considering a volunteer position at TIS. We look forward to working with you!
Sincerely,
Howard Stribbell
Head of School
PARENT VOLUNTEERS SIGN UP FORM
致親愛的家長：
不知不覺學校已開學接近一個月！學校所有人包括學生及教職員能良好地過渡有賴各位的支持。
我們現在誠邀家長以義工身份參與學校活動，為學校提供最強大的資源及支持。學校現有以下兩個機會讓有興趣的家長參與：
義工家長午膳監督
在等待澳門境邊重開讓新老師正式報到之際，學校目前許多在校老師除了需要兼顧額外的教學任務、為未能入境的老師接替授課之外，他們還需要在午膳時間監督學生情況。為減輕在校老師的負擔，學校現誠邀義工家長參與午膳監督工作。參與之義工家長服務時間為上午 11:30 至 12:00（小學午膳時間）以及中午 12:00 至 12:30（中學午膳時間）。有興趣的家長可選擇一週內挑選單一時段或雙時段參與，亦可一週內參與多天。這項義工家長服務會持續至聖誕假期為止。
若您有興趣參與義工家長午膳監督，請填妥以下表格。
請注意，基於學生安全考量的部份，請家長在進行首次義工服務前先完成以下步驟：
進入校園前請先填妥澳門衛生局健康申報
前往離島政府綜合服務中心3樓申請「刑事紀錄證明書」（位於氹仔哥英布拉街濠珀）
簽署兒童保護政策
學校很高興協助您進行上述流程，期待在校園與你見面。
TISPA家長會代表
學校正尋找「家長班級代表」幫助我們促進家長與各班級之間的溝通。若您想參與到子女的課室事務，請私下直接與班主任聯絡。
若您被選中為班級代表，班主任稍後會聯繫您解釋職責及責任。班級家長代表需要每月與領導小組會面，分享信息並收集反饋。
9月24日（週四）課程簡介會上將分享更多義工家長的資訊。
感謝您考慮出任澳門國際學校義工家長職位。很期待與您一同合作！
祝安，
Howard Stribbell
學校負責人
