The ISP Community »The ISP Community The International School of Panama would be nothing without its strong community network. This starts with students and teachers, but also includes parents, employees and alumni. Our community grows stronger each year, as more nationalities are represented in our classrooms, and more students graduate, spreading their knowledge and skills at university and beyond.

Uniforms »ISP UNIFORM    Uniforms are required for all students at ISP. They are in keeping with public and private Panamanian school culture and should reflect pride in our school community. Additionally, they are an expression of preparedness and a kind of professionalism desired in ISP students.    Although the ISP uniform has a relaxed appearance, it is a uniform and must be worn according to the regulations. Violations will result in appropriate disciplinary actions detailed in the student handbooks.    ISP Uniform Regulations: 1.

Parents » Parents   The experience of living in an international community results in a respect for and an appreciation of others and their diverse backgrounds. To many, this offers the opportunity to share and give one's best. The parents and staff work together to provide a sense of community in a variety of ways that include a wide range of events like the United Nations Day celebrations, the Holiday Shop and the Family Fun Fair to name just a few. Parent Participation Parents are our partners in education. Those who participate actively find great rewards in the friendships they develop and the feelings of belonging and excitement as they experience the school's spirit. Parents may work as classroom volunteers in a diverse range of activities. Our open door policy encourages mutual respect and a team approach to providing the student with an environment for success. Teachers, administrators and parents maintain close contact. A very active Parent-Teacher Association works to further educational and social cohesion within the school community. Parent InformationThe school's most direct form of communication with the home is through the website, Edline and email communications.  Electronic communication allows easy access to our calendars of events, food service menu, announcements, offerings of student activities, progress reports, report cards, invitations to school celebrations, information concerning registration for the new school year, meetings and other other announcements. Parents also receive Elementary, Middle School and High School Student Handbooks, and, in many cases, Friday papers in the Elementary and Middle Schools that contain teacher handouts and completed student work for parents to review. PTA Please be sure to visit the PTA section of the website to find out information about how you can participate.  You will find the PTA Activities Calendar there that lists the full year's view of all the wonderful activities sponsored by the PTA.  Tuesday, 11 January 2011 17:15
