To ensure your smooth transition into our school community, we invite you to our Virtual New Family Orientation to be held on Monday, January 2, 2023. We strongly encourage all families to attend this virtual event. 

Orientation Day is your family’s chance to learn more about ISB and meet with the school management team through teams. Virtual Orientation Agenda can be found here.

PowerSchool is ISB’s student information database which stores both family and student information, such as contact details, student schedules and student grades. Please take the following steps to sign up for PowerSchool:

Look for an email that was sent to you entitled: ‘Parent Portal Access Account’. This email will include a Student Access ID and Password that you will need to use in order to set up your PowerSchool Account.

• Families who are new to the ISB community will need to follow the direction here.
• Families who already have a PowerSchool Parent Portal Account, due to another enrolled child in the school, will need to follow the direction here.

Once you have read your appropriate attached directions and retrieved your Username and Password from your recently received email, you could begin setting up your account on PowerSchool.

We recommend that you open ISB sites using Google Chrome or FireFox and not Internet Explorer

This online process will ask you to review and, when necessary, update the information you have already submitted to us and to submit several documents regarding your student’s visa and official medical history. All families will need to complete this registration process in order to attend school.

Please take the following steps to complete the ‘New Student Registration Process’:

1. Sign onto your PowerSchool Account and click the link in the left hand column entitled: ‘New Student Registration’

2. Complete and/or update each of the empty family information fields and upload a copy of the following required documents:

i. the student’s current passport photo page and most up-to-date visa; permanent foreign residency permit; or Hong Kong, Taiwan, Macau travel permit;

ii. the working parent’s current passport photo page;

iii. the student’s insurance card (if available);

iv. the student’s medical form to be completed by a physician who is in your country or in Beijing.  You could download the Physical Examination form here. Please print it out, bring it to your student’s physician for completion and upload the completed document on your PowerSchool Parent Portal.

Once you have obtained and gathered all of the necessary documents, this registration process should only take a few minutes.
