The Canadian International School believes that parents are an important and integral part of a child’s education. At CIS, the Parent Council is a volunteer group dedicated to providing opportunities for parents and teachers to work together for the benefit of all CIS students. This committee is known as Parent Council. The Parent Council meet regularly to coordinate various special events and exchange ideas throughout the year. Any interested parents are welcome to become a part of the committee. Meetings are held weekly on Monday mornings in the cafeteria directly after student drop off, and all are welcome!
Listed below are a few of the events that the Parent Council plan, organize, and run throughout the year. In addition to these events, the committee also organizes a monthly Pizza Day and various bake sales which help fund our yearly activities.
Fall Festival : At Fall Festival the children dress up in their favorite costumes and enjoy many exciting activities! This is an evening event and provides a great opportunity for the families in our community to meet each other and start establishing those all-important friendships.
International Day : CIS International Day is a celebration of the diversity of nationalities at our school. The day includes a Parade of Nations, student performances and booths decorated by our parent body full of food, arts and crafts and entertainment. This day is not to be missed. Families of the same nationalities are encouraged to band together to create booths representing their country. We have over 80 nationalities here at CIS so International Day is an important day.
CIS International Day is one of the marque events in our calendar. More information will be available closer to the time but take a look at our Instagram Page for photos of our previous events.

Staff Appreciation Lunch : The Parent Council organize a buffet style lunch for all the staff of our school to say thank you to them for all their hard work throughout the year.
