We hope that each ES class has at least one class parent. If you are interested in helping in this role, please contact your child’s homeroom teacher.  

Key Responsibilities of a Room Parent

• Support your child’s teacher: Work with your child’s homeroom teacher on class needs such as activities or field trips. Each teacher’s requests will look a little different. Remember, you are not expected to do everything yourself.
  
  

• Stay connected: Whenever possible, attend Elementary Parent Coffees and Parent Teacher Group (PTG) meetings and encourage other class parents to join you. Dates are in the Elementary School events calendar.
  
  

• Help with volunteers: From time to time, PTG event chairs may contact you to help recruit parent volunteers.
  
  

• Assist with field trip chaperones: Support the teacher in finding chaperones when needed.
  
  

  • At least 2 adults are required for all trips.

  • Day or walking trips: 1 chaperone for every 10 students.

  • Chaperones may be teachers, assistants, parents, school staff, or other approved adults.

Parent Issues and Concerns

If parents share personal or academic concerns about their child, please do not try to resolve these issues yourself. Instead, kindly direct them to the appropriate teacher or ACS staff member. As a parent rep, your role is to help keep class WhatsApp discussions positive, respectful, and helpful.

Class Potlucks and Extra Activities

Parent reps are welcome to organize potlucks or other class- or grade-wide events outside of the school day. Please note that homeroom teachers may not always be able to attend. Holiday celebrations and other “extras” often depend on the support and organization of dedicated parents, and we are grateful for your involvement.

Our first elementary morning meeting was a great way to meet new people and recommit to our ES promises!

Faster Lunch Lines with New Student Badges!
Say goodbye to lost lunch money and long cafeteria queues! Our new student badges now double as a quick, contactless payment card for school meals.

To keep lines moving smoothly and give your child more time to sit down, eat, and relax, we strongly encourage pre-loading funds onto their badge in advance. Pre-loading money on the app is significantly faster and easier than sending cash with your child or having them waiting while Zain Cash and credit card payments process.

1. Download the ACS Amman App from the Apple App Store or the Google Play Store and sign in with your family account. If you have trouble signing in, write to help@acsamman.edu.jo.

2. Select the green Payments button.

3. Select the gold Fill up your children's wallet option.

4. Enter the amount. You can split the total across multiple children if you'd like. Continue through to make the payment.

Please note that if the key fobs are lost, ES students, or the supervising adult, can type their name into the kiosks to tap in or out of campus while their backpack fob is being replaced. 

If drivers come to pick up student backpacks because the student is going home with another family, the driver should NOT tap the student out of campus. The student should be physically present to be tapping in or out.
