Parent Engagement at GIIS Tokyo
By connecting home and school, we ensure every student feels supported and confident.
Communication at GIIS Tokyo
At GIIS Tokyo, open and transparent communication with parents is at the heart of every student’s success. We actively foster strong parent–teacher partnerships, recognising that meaningful collaboration plays a vital role in unlocking each child’s full potential and supporting their holistic development.
Parent portal myGIIS
For smoother channels of collaboration, we have the myGIIS portal - a one-stop solution for many announcements, businesses, queries, functions, tasks, etc. The portal acts as a bridge between teachers and parents for all school-related activities, as well as an easy option for administrative activities like invoicing, transport etc. This customer service software uses multiple channels for capturing feedback, support requests and compliments which are routed to relevant GIIS Tokyo personnel who ensure that our stakeholders are promptly responded to regarding their queries.
Other modes of communication include
Parent Teacher Meetings
One-on-One Meetings
Weekly Class Updates
Orientation Sessions
School events
Plenty of special events are observed and celebrated in our school, which is an exercise in bonding and showcasing talent and excellence.
Calendar Activities
Events like Annual Day and Sports Day are held each year as showcase events for students to show their talent in sports related and co-curricular related activities.
Students from all four Houses participate in these activities, and go on to compete against each other for the highest award; which in turn builds their character, their sense of camaraderie and gives them a hunger to win for collective pride.
Special Days
Special days are held in our GIIS Tokyo pre-primary classes which aim to strengthen bonds between students and their extended families.
Parents often participate in classroom activities like story-telling sessions, class projects, drama lessons etc., while grandparents are also made part of the narrative through sessions like Grandparents' Day. Apart from this, our international school uses parents' expertise in different sectors to spread awareness among students through talks and experience-sharing sessions.
In addition, parents also participate or volunteer their time to help the school through logistical
Parent Ambassadors
We have also established parent forums like the GIIS Parent Ambassadors and Friends of GIIS who work with the school and also share positive stories about the school to the community.
