PowerSchool Forms [Parent action required]

Powerschool information: Guardianship, Contacts, forms, etc

ICS stresses the importance of providing a safe and well-balanced school program. However, we recognize that even with the most thorough preparations, accidents and emergency situations may occur. It is important that each student’s parents provide the school with the most current information that will assist in the event of an unfortunate situation. At the beginning of school, families will be asked to verify the contact data on file at the school. The parents will be asked to confirm the accuracy of this information and make amendments as needed. Should this information change during the year, parents are asked to contact the school with these amendments.

 Parents or legal guardians as indicated on PowerSchool are the only persons recognized by the school to:

• give permission for participation in school activities.

• sign forms, write notes of absence.

• allow students to leave school in case of illness.

• pick up children from school.

• supervise students while on campus after 15.30

Persons designated to perform any of the above activities must have written authority from a parent or legal guardian. Forms are available from the Counseling Office and kept in the student's file. Temporary guardianship should also be recorded in the student's file.

Guardianship Form

All students must have a parent or guardian present in Ethiopia who assumes full responsibility for the student. If the parent(s) or current guardian(s) will be out of Addis Ababa, not in phone range or absent from Ethiopia, they MUST designate another adult as the guardian during that time. The designated guardian will be the primary contact for the named students during the dates of guardianship, including for emergencies. The appointed guardian has the authority to direct medical intervention and emergency evacuation from Ethiopia. Parents will also be contacted whenever possible.

As part of our Child Protection Policy, parents who are out of the country for more than one day must designate an official guardian for their children by submitting the guardianship authorization form through PowerSchool. In the unlikely event of a health or disciplinary concern, we need to be able to contact someone locally with the authority to make medical and disciplinary decisions. A guardian is not necessary if one parent is still present.

           Keep Parent Contact Information Updated

It is very important that any change in telephone contact numbers or email addresses are reported immediately to your student’s school office. We use this contact database for all communications and to develop a "telephone tree" which is designed to contact as many ICS families as possible in case of an emergency or school closing (or partial closing) for any reason.

Thank you for your cooperation.
