Email can make contact and communication very efficient; nevertheless, there is the potential for misuse and misunderstanding. Email is an excellent method for communicating purely factual information. However, for more detailed discussion, it may well be best to arrange a telephone or Skype call.
Parents are asked to take note of the following and observe the required protocol:
Instant responses must not be expected – teachers may well be engaged with students.
Emails are subject to the same requirements of courtesy and consideration as would apply to all other forms of communication.
Emails are not private and must be written with the understanding that others may see them.
As the B.I.S. PTA, we would like to extend our assistance and support to the B.I.S. community.
You can contact us anytime via the Primary or Secondary PTA email addresses:
Primary PTA Chairs - Victoria and Cristina: pta-primary@berlin-international-school.de
Secondary PTA Chairs - Sharon, Claudia, Melissa, Sara: pta-secondary@berlin-international-school.de
The B.I.S. parent Facebook page, “The B.I.S. Connection” is also a great source for parent to parent support. We aim to keep things positive, share any useful local relevant information or updates and try to add a little light relief as we get through the next few weeks.
We understand the stress that all may be under right now but please remain patient, think of others and try and keep things positive and supportive as we all navigate this unknown situation we are faced at present.
“Together we are stronger”
If the PTA can be of assistance with any questions, concerns, class contacts, maybe you are new and need support or a friend, we are all here for each other...or if you yourself can offer any assistance to another family, please share your contact information with us.
The Primary and Secondary PTA Team
