The Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO), (renamed April 2009) is an active voluntary organization whose membership is open to all parents/guardians and whose purpose is to assist AIS in creating a community of life-long learners, creative thinkers and committed citizens.  The PTO is an organization committed to building school spirit and a positive community atmosphere; and for enriching the educational life of the AIS community by organizing special events and programs. The PTO´s mission is to support the educational goals directed by the Administration, and to organize social and fundraising events which strengthen and support AIS.  Some examples of PTO funded and staffed projects include coordinating and staffing pizza lunches for students on Fridays, staffing the AIS Library, coordinating the Room Parents system, organizing opportunities for parents to socialize outside of the school, and organizing Splash Day on the last day of school in June.   

The PTO has elected officers.  Monthly PTO meetings are open to all parents, but only PTO members may participate.  Membership in the PTO is renewable on an annual basis.  PTO meetings include discussion of issues that parents bring forward, planning for upcoming events, periodic updates from the Executive Director and development of project ideas for the future.  In the spring of each year, an annual general meeting is held to elect new officers and to vote on projects, events and fundraising plans for the following year.  All parents, especially those new to the AIS community, are encouraged to get involved in the life of the school through the PTO.
