Parent Volunteer Organizations

When you choose a school for your children, you are really choosing a community. For parents and students alike, JIS is where strong friendships are built and countless memories happen.

Parent engagement takes many forms. You could run a cooking class, read a book at Story Hour, volunteer with JIS Peduli, chaperone a field trip or be a room parent in Elementary. If you’ve got older children, be present at a parent run facility, organize a luncheon, support a home game or enjoy one of our weekly student concerts or performance. You can also get involved in a more structured way through specific parent organizations at the school.

If you like being active, come enjoy sports facilities unparalleled in Indonesia. Participate in community sports for parents and faculty, from baseball to volleyball. All are available at no cost to the JIS community.

You can also just enjoy the green, open spaces of our 36-acre campus, surrounded by century-old tropical trees and blooming flowers.

Your engagement is encouraged, but it is not mandatory. With countless ways to be immersed in the JIS community, we are sure you will find your niche at JIS.

Our doors are open. You are welcome. You are wanted.

Parent Teacher Association

Parent Teacher Association (PTA)

The PTA is an organization of parents and teachers dedicated to serving students and families in the JIS community. The PTA consists of an umbrella called School-Wide PTA (S-W PTA) and a PTA organization for each campus (Campus PTA) – High School (HS), Middle School (MS), Pattimura Elementary School (PEL) and Pondok Indah Elementary (PIE). S-W PTA is the governing body of the four Campus PTAs.

As the parent or guardian of a JIS student or as a teacher at JIS, you’re automatically a full member of the JIS PTA. You are warmly invited to live this membership by attending any PTA meetings, events, and to participate in all that the PTA has to offer.

All are welcome to volunteer at the PTA; there are many positions that might suit your interests and availability. Contact one of the PTA officers at your Campus PTAs or at the School-Wide PTA – they’ll be happy to speak with you. Parents are suggested to volunteer at the Campus PTAs where their child(ren) attend, while School-Wide PTA welcomes and encourages parent volunteers from all grade-levels.

D'Toko

D’Toko

From Moms to Kids... D’Toko is a community store selling school supplies, together with hot meals, snacks and beverages to MS and HS students, staff and faculty members since 2005. We are located in the Middle School campus next to the Little Gym, directly in front of the basketball hoops. Staffed entirely by parent volunteers from MS and HS, D’Toko is well regarded and appreciated school-wide for its excellent food service provided in an efficient and timely manner.  
 
The key points of DToko’s operations are:
 
  • MS and HS students are served daily from 7:30 AM - 3:00 PM. Hot breakfast and lunch items are available daily. As much as possible, emphasis is put on healthier foods and snacks.
  • Home-cooked meals, provided to D’Toko by mom cooks, hold a big place in D’Toko.
  • In accordance with D’Toko’s philosophy of healthier eating, foods and beverages deemed healthy by D’Toko, like fresh fruits and salads and different varieties of milks and yoghurts, are sold at lower prices.
  • D’Toko operates a staggered system of controlled sales throughout the school day, with particular reference to MS children. Sweet canned drinks and isotonic drinks are not sold until lunch break; home-baked goods, not until the third break; and chocolates, chips and candy are available only after school.
  • School activities at both MS and HS levels, as well as external worthy causes and charities are supported and sponsored through ad hoc donations.
  • D’Toko shows appreciation to its students every semester by holding “free food” days.
  • Ingredients for food sold at D’Toko are sourced from reputable and established stores and outlets in Jakarta.
D’Toko is a not-for-profit entity. Our philosophy is to give back to the students as much as we possibly can.
 
We heavily subsidize the healthy food that we sell such as fresh green salads, milk, chocolate drinks and fresh fruit salad.
 
Any leftover earnings are then given back to the Middle School and High School student population by cosponsoring their school activities. This is decided upon by D’Toko Core Members year to year, with no precedent set from the last year. D’Toko also donates generously to charitable causes spearheaded by JIS such as charity fund drives for natural calamity victims and orphanages, etc.
 
We welcome parents to join us as volunteer servers, cooks, buyers (stockists) and meal planners. If you wish to volunteer, please contact Volunteer Coordinator, Julia Hambali, at julia.hambali@gmail.com.

Checkpoint

Managed and operated by parent volunteers, the Checkpoint Lost & Found provides the following services to both MS and HS students: Checkpoint serves as a safe place for students to leave their valuables and their bulky or heavy belongings during school day.

Checkpoint serves as a centralized department for lost and found items for the MS and HS campuses. Volunteers also send out emails and text messages to the rightful owner if the item found has a labeled owner on it.

The Checkpoint is located adjacent to the Booster Hut on the Cilandak campus. Opening hours are 7:00 AM - 4:30 PM, Mondays to Fridays. The Checkpoint is closed during school holidays.
