As we mentioned in a previous post, TIS will soon be implementing mandatory Parent ID Cards to better control campus access.
Please keep an eye on your inbox as you will be receiving an email with directions on how to upload your photos for the IDs. Parents are being asked to upload photos of all individuals in the household (including relatives, helpers, drivers) who are authorized to drop off or pick up their children. The process is very straightforward and should only take a few minutes.
Photos should be “passport-style” like the example below:
Please note that parents do not have to upload photos of their children as the school already has these on file. Parents will be informed when their IDs are ready for pick up at the main office. ID cards can only be provided to those who have uploaded photos.
All individuals accessing the TIS campus will be required to have an ID card by April 10th (the Monday following Easter Break). For your convenience, IDs for the current school year (2016-17) and the following school year (2017-18) will be given out at the same time so that parents do not have to pick up an ID again in September. Visitors and parents who do not have IDs by April 10th will need to sign in at the guard station located at the entrance of the North Wing. A temporary Visitor Badge will be issued.
You can expect the email inviting you to upload photos to arrive in your inbox on March 8th. In the meantime, if you have any questions about the Parent ID cards or the enhanced security measures being implemented at TIS, please feel free to contact me at howard.stribbell@tis.edu.mo.

如上述所言，本校將以確保校園安全為由，落實推行配帶家長證。
請家長們密切留意學校發出之電子郵件，以了解如何上傳任何會接送貴子女之家長成員（包括親人、家務助理或司機）照片以便辦理家長證。上傳照片需時僅數分鐘，過程快捷簡便。
照片規格為「證件照」，樣式如下：
請注意，學校已有學生照片存檔，家長無須上傳貴子女之照片。家長證完成後學校會通知家長前往接待處取證。只有已完成上傳照片的家長方會獲發家長證。
自4月10日起（既春假後的首個週一）所有進入校園之家長及訪客必須出示有關證件。 為方便起見，2016-17學年及2017-18學年之家長證將同時發放。 凡在4月10日未能出示家長證之家長或訪客， 必須於北翼保安室領取臨時訪客證。
煩請家長於3月8日查看電子郵件，以便獲取申請家長證之詳情。
若有任何關於家長證或學校新保安措施的疑問，歡迎透過以下電郵與本人聯絡： howard.stribbell@tis.edu.mo
