Campus Access

Student ID Cards                                                                       

All students are issued an ICS identification card with name, grade level and photo. Lost or stolen ID cards should be reported to the office immediately. A replacement card will be issued for 100 birr. ICS identification cards are not transferable to others and should not be loaned to others to give them campus access.

The ID cards are used as prepaid debit cards, within ICS only, to purchase a hot lunch/buffet or snacks from the ICS cafeteria. The prepaid account uses an electronic debit system. The student ID card has a unique code that is used to access the student’s ICS prepaid account by a simple scan at the cafeteria cashier. Students can also use their ID cards to reserve space in the Sports Pavilion and we will be exploring other uses for the ID, for example use at the student store.

For assistance with your student’s prepaid account, you can visit the IT Help desk or contact us by email at prepaid.service@icsaddis.org. At this time, cash is also accepted to purchase food at the ICS cafeteria.

After-school Campus Supervision:

All students on campus after 15.30 must be in the following:

• a registered ASA until 16.30pm. At the end of this they must wait in the lower lommons to be picked up from the main gate.

• Signed up by a parent for Community Access Supervision Time (CAST) from 15.30 - 16.30 on the MS field and basketball court. At the end of this, they must wait in the lower commons to be picked up from the main gate. Please refer to the ICS weekly for the link to sign up for CAST.

• Waiting in the lower commons for a parent or driver to pick them up.

• After 16.30pm ALL MS students must wait in the lower commons for a parent or driver unless they are in a registered activity. There are no alternative supervision options available at this time, and students are not permitted to be in any location on campus without the continuous and direct supervision of a parent or guardian who has been designated in PowerSchool.

Failing to meet these expectations may result in the restriction or removal of the students' ASA privileges for an extended period.

Campus Access

The full Campus Access Policy can be found on the Community Portal page of our website, HERE.

Permission for a student to host a guest during the day should be obtained from the principal at least two days in advance of the visit. The ICS student host is responsible for the guest while on campus and for advising the guest that s/he is expected to abide by the same regulations that apply to ICS students. To minimize disruption to learning within the middle school, visiting students will be allowed to visit during lunch break time only.

Safety and Security

Please be advised of the following safety and security concerns and responsibilities.

• Parents and drivers are asked to drive carefully in the vicinity of the school and exert great caution when picking up and dropping off children at school.

• Security of personal property on the streets near our buildings cannot be guaranteed.

• Parents should ensure that they lock their vehicles and activate the car alarms.

• Bicycles brought to school are parked at the students’ own risk. All bicycles should be locked.

• A helmet MUST BE WORN at all times by students wanting to skateboard, rollerblade or bicycle at ICS. These activities are limited to the elementary hardcourt and the half pike area.

• Security guards are on duty in the buildings during the day and for evening activities. In the event of an after hours emergency please contact the security shift commander at: 0911-333-651 or 011- 371-8103.

Students Leaving Campus

Students who leave campus during the school day must have an exit pass from the Middle School office.  

Students who participate in the ICS Eagles sports program must remain on campus until their practices begin at 16:30 PM.  Students who leave campus at dismissal time may not return to participate in sports programs.

Student IDs

All students are issued an ICS identification card with name, grade level and photo. MS students must keep their ID cards with them at all times while on campus or participating in school activities off campus. Students may be asked to show the card to any staff or security member at any time and are required to do so. Students are required to use their card to borrow materials from the library. 

Lost or stolen ID cards should be reported to the office immediately. A replacement card will be issued for 100 ETB. ICS identification cards are not transferable to others and should not be loaned to others to give them campus access. ID cards may be usable to receive student discounts from a variety of vendors, museums or other attractions.

Cafeteria

ICS promotes and encourages healthy eating patterns for the community to support health and overall wellbeing. The ICS Cafeteria webpage with menu choices can be found here. Students may bring snacks and/or lunch from home or purchase food items from the ICS food service facility. Microwave ovens and sandwich warmers are available for student use. The food service currently operates on a cash basis offering a variety of foods, including a hot lunch, sandwich bar, fresh fruit, snacks, as well as drinks such as fruit juice. Disposable plastic bottles will no longer be sold on campus. All students are encouraged to bring their own refillable beverage containers from home. These can also be purchased at the school store.

The ID cards are also to be used as prepaid debit cards, within ICS only, to purchase a hot lunch/buffet or snacks from the ICS cafeteria. The prepaid account uses an electronic debit system, which means each time a purchase is made it will reduce the prepaid account by the amount of the purchase. The student ID card has a unique barcode that is used to access the student’s ICS prepaid account by a simple swipe at the cafeteria cashier.

For more information, visit our website: http://www.icsaddis.org/prepaid/overview. 

For assistance with your student’s prepaid account, you can visit the cashier’s office or contact us by email at prepaid.service@icsaddis.org. Cash is also accepted to purchase food at the ICS cafeteria.

STUDENT STORE

Most instructional materials are provided by the school without additional charge. Students are responsible to purchase their own consumable supplies such as notebooks, paper, dividers, pens, rulers, etc. Because good supplies can be difficult to find locally, the on-campus Student Store offers a selection of common items. The Student Store is open in the morning, at lunchtime and just after school.  You may also access the Student Store online by clicking here.
