Dear Parents,
As the weather warms up, please remind your child to bring a refillable water bottle to school each day. Staying hydrated is important, especially during outdoor activities. Thank you for your support!

If your child will be absent or requires a transportation change, please send an email to afno.attendance@dodea.edu & the homeroom teacher.
Changes must be sent by 12PM daily.
In the subject line, please include the child's full name and specify ES or MS/HS.
In the email, please include the following:
• Student's full name (no nicknames please)
• Date of absence(s) / transportation change
• Reason for the absence (attendance emails only)
The email reminders regarding low balance lunch funds are not automatically generated.
The email is a courtesy sent by our office staff. While we try our very best to notify parents right away, it is the parent’s responsibility to check the lunch account funds.
Please check in at the front office when volunteering for the school or dropping off belongings for your child.
All classroom visits require an appointment with the teacher.
All students may enter the school campus as early as 8:40 am.
Drop off before this time is not permitted as supervision is not provided.
Please note that students may not be sent to the office at dismissal to wait for their parents due to appointments or meetings.
We kindly ask that you make the proper arrangements for your children.
Thank you for your support to ensure the safety of our students.
The captains of the high school Robotics team—Izzy Purchase, Gabriel van Kessel, and Sage Kallestad—are launching an Engineering club for elementary kids. This initiative aims to fund our Robotics club's competition travel, parts, team merchandise but most importantly, build our STEAM community. To see who would be interested in sending their child to a weekly robotics club for kiddos, please fill out this form.
To receive the positive balance from your child(ren)’s lunch card(s), send an email to Sodexo at 814700.afnorth.nl@sodexo.com to make appointment. Please close your Sodexo AIS lunch account and receive the remaining positive balance on the lunch account with the Sodexo Manager at the school Cafeteria before 18 June 2025.
*It is not possible to receive the remaining positive balance on the lunch account after June 18, 2025
*Bring your child(ren)’s lunch card(s) to the appointment.
*Deactivate the “automatic reload” on your lunch card(s) if you have activated this feature before your appointment.
*If you have several lunch cards, please combine the balance on one card and bring this card to your appointment. *Inform Sodexo if your combined balance is higher than Euro 50.
*Do not block the lunch card(s) before the appointment.
*It is possible to close the lunch account early with Sodexo and purchase lunch tickets with the remaining balance on your lunch card(s).
*If you do not need to make an appointment with Sodexo (low/no balance on lunch card(s)), you can block your child(ren)’s card(s) on the lunch account after their last day attendance at AFNORTH International School.
