COMMUNICATION MODE

GAA uses various forms of communication to ensure that our families stay engaged. 

Elementary School

Parent teacher communication in the Elementary (KG - grade 5) is via Seesaw, which is a student e-portfolio. Elementary parents can also expect to receive direct emails from teachers, and an elementary weekly newsletter. 

Middle & High School

PowerSchool Unified Classroom is our electronic student management system where student information is collected and stored. This platform is accessible to Middle and High School Parents for access to student information, like grades and assignment scores. You will receive an email from PowerSchool Unified Classroom with the Access ID of your child. If you have not received this email by second week of school, please contact Aira Pangalangan at a.pangalangan_gaa@gemsedu.com. The parent account guide can be found here.

Google Classroom  is used for communication on assignments/ homework.  Students will receive invitation from each subject teacher to join the Google Classroom at the beginning of each school  year. Teachers then “invite” parents via email to access the Google Classroom Summaries.  Video for parents to set-up the email summaries on Google Classroom.

Emails: Middle and High School parents can also expect to receive direct emails from teachers.

All School Communication

All-school communication via our GAAzette is shared with parents every two weeks and provides whole school and divisional updates. You can bookmark the website and check it regularly. Updated calendar of events, important divisional announcements and highlights are shared through this platform.

SMS messaging is used for reminders and emergency messaging. Please ensure you have provided us with the mobile numbers of both parents/guardians. You can check with our receptionists, our Parent Relations Executive or our Admissions Team to ensure your contact details are correct on file. 

GEMS Parent Username and Password 

All newly enrolled parents will receive an automated email from the GEMS ICT Helpdesk with their GEMS Username and Password to access the GEMS Parent Portal or GEMS Connect App. Parents will receive one login per family and be able to see all of your children. The same login information can be used in many devices. If you are not able to see all of your children, please contact our Admissions team at registrar_gaa@gemsedu.com. The GEMS Parent Portal/App is used to pay fees, make a transfer request or refer a friend to a GEMS school as part of the GEMS Ambassador Program. If you have not received an email with your username and password, please email pre_gaa@gemsedu.com.
