Communications
Building a connected and respectful community
Mutual respect and open communication form the foundation of our school culture at CIS, creating a collaborative, understanding, and welcoming environment where everyone feels safe and valued.
APPS, PLATFORMS, AND MEETINGS
All parents receive weekly email updates from their child’s principal. Teachers in our Early Years Program and Elementary School also share frequent learning updates via Seesaw. Students in Middle School and High School utilize Google Classroom.
CIS is continuing to improve the apps and online tools available to families. We implemented iSAMS in June 2025.
All families are invited to parent-teacher conferences, workshops, information sessions, and learning celebrations throughout the school year. Our School Council meets every second month. We have dedicated translator-interpreters on staff.
RESPECTFUL CONDUCT
It is a shared responsibility of all members of the CIS school community to work in partnership and to demonstrate respectful behaviour. All members of the school community have a duty to ensure that students, parents, and staff feel safe and welcome at school. We treat each other with respect and refrain from using rude language or any form of intimidating behaviour. This means we all commit to making calm, polite requests for support, and we table concerns in a constructive manner.
CIS will not tolerate aggressive or threatening behaviour towards anyone in the school community. We reserve the right to deny entry to campuses as a result of such behaviour.
If parents feel they have been treated disrespectfully, they are asked to contact the Head of School. Likewise, CIS staff have the right to be treated fairly and with dignity and respect at all times. They are also asked to report disrespectful behavior.
