About the PTA

The PTA is a non-profit organisation that works closely with class representatives and the school to ensure that the students have the best conditions to thrive and succeed in school. It is an important group, which allows everyone involved to share ideas and discuss how our school can become even better.

The PTA also arranges activities for students, parents and school staff, which adds to school life. This can be anything from educational seminars to more festive activities.

PTA volunteers work hard to be a powerful voice for all students and parents, and actively lead the effort to increase communication between the parents and the teachers/school administration.

Upcoming meetings and events are listed below.

Some accomplishments and initiatives

• Annual Teacher and Staff Appreciation Days

• Guest speakers (Internet safety, drugs, social media, health, etc.)

• New hallway benches for the students

• Safer bus waiting area

Membership

The activities are funded by membership dues. To continue having a PTA at IESU, please join by paying the membership fee of 100 SEK per family and academic year.

Pay the membership dues via Swish to Milan Gavrilovic, acting treasurer, 073 039 00 34.
Include the name and class for your child/children. 

Meetings

The PTA meets bi-monthly during the academic year. The meetings are open to all parents of IESU students to attend. The school principal is invited and attends most meetings, giving the parents an opportunity to discuss current opportunities/issues with the school administration. If you have suggestions on topics and/or like to submit questions for discussion at an upcoming meeting, please send them to us at iesu.pta@gmail.com.

Link to join the bi-monthly meetings is available on this page, and shared via SchoolSoft in advance of each meeting.

Get involved

Joining the PTA is a good opportunity for you to meet other parents and being able to have an influence on your child’s experience at IESU.

Some activities are one-off efforts and others last a term/year. All levels of involvement are welcome.  Together, we make the PTA strong!

For more information and/or to get involved in the PTA, please contact the board members via email.
