UISG uses a variety of tools to facilitate communication between Parents, Teachers, and School Administrators.
ManageBac
- ManageBac is the leading online learning platform for IB world schools. ManageBac facilitates communication of school curriculum planning, assessment and reporting. Prior to the first day of school, parents will receive a notification email about their ManageBac account creation at the email address provided during the enrollment process.
- ManageBac is considered the official communication channel between the Primary and Secondary Offices and parents. We highly recommend all parents ensure that they have access to, and are regularly checking, ManageBac to ensure they do not miss any important school announcements.
- The UISG ManageBac login portal can be found at https://uis.managebac.cn or can be accessed using the ManageBac Mobile App.
- Parents are asked to submit all attendance excusal notifications through ManageBac if their child will be absent from school.

Transport Change Requests
UISG departments utilize WeChat to support our daily operations in several ways.
- Our Official WeChat channels share updates and information on general school activities and connects parents to our Uniform e-shop and Canteen Ordering systems.
- For students using UISG Bus Services, parents are provided access to a WeChat group that connects them to their child’s bus supervisor for updates on important transportation updates.
- UISG parents and the UPTA maintain year level WeChat groups to facilitate communication between year level parents. These groups are not UISG administered and will only be by the school in case of sharing emergency information.
- WeChat groups may be set up by UISG staff to support student participation and communication in various student activities and events.
- Please note that WeChat is not appropriate for direct communication with Teachers regarding your child. Please use ManageBac or Email.
Follow our Official UISG WeChat:
UISG support departments such as the Admissions, Finance, and School Bus Offices will utilize email as the primary communication tool with parents. We require that all parents ensure that the school is aware of their up-to-date contact information and respond to all school communications in a timely manner to support their family’s continued enrollment.
Classroom teachers and academic offices may also contact parents via email if necessary and will respond to parent email requests in a timely manner.
A complete list of UISG staff email addresses can be found in the Parent-Student Handbook.
