At GEMS American Academy, we issue parent ID cards to our parents only. No ID Cards are issued for guardians, domestic helpers, drivers or relatives.

The Parent ID includes photos of the parent. The Parent ID does not expire and is valid as long as the child attends GAA. You will be asked to return Parent IDs, should you withdraw from GAA.

New Parents, you may obtain your Parent photo identity card by emailing a photo (jpeg format) along with the parent’s first and last name to supports_gaa@gemsedu.com. Please also include your child/children’s full name and grade in the email as well.

UPDATE! Once you have uploaded your photo/photos, we will email you your card in JPEG/PDF format to be saved on your mobile phones and presented upon entry to school.

All students from KG to Grade 12 are issued a Student ID, which can also be used as a cafeteria card for grades 6-12. Please make sure to submit your child's most recent photo in jpeg format to Admissions team. The IDs will be delivered in the classrooms.
