Who We Are
The 501c3 Foundation/Parent Advisory Committee (PAC) is a group of parents, staff members, and community members committed to promoting interaction among families, teachers, and community partners to build the TIS community. We provide information to parents, organize fun community events, and help to coordinate volunteer efforts around the school. As fellow TIS parents, we can also serve as a resource to answer questions or identify the right school resource.
The International School at Mesa del Sol depends on significant parent involvement to make our school one of the best schools in Albuquerque. Each family is expected to commit to 20 hours per year of volunteer service to the school. The volunteer activities at the school are coordinated by the Foundation/Parent Advisory Committee.
The committee is open to all members of the TIS community and meets once a month. Foundation/PAC Meetings are held on the 3rd Wednesday of the month on Zoom at 4:30 pm. Each meeting has a presentation topic to inform parents about the school and to provide resources to help our students and families.

Volunteer at TIS!
As part of our TIS community, each family is asked to give 20 hours of volunteer service each school year. Following is a list of volunteer opportunities at TIS. We appreciate our families and we couldn’t do this without you! Research shows that when parents are involved in school, their children have a better chance of being successful in academics and behavior. We always welcome and appreciate volunteers from our community. To sign up for volunteer opportunities, please email dvargas@tisnm.org or fill out the form below!
