ISR Meet your Teacher Event
Thursday, 18 August 2022
Bright-eyed children, happy families, and joyful teachers warmly welcoming their students came together today – after a few weeks of summer break – on our ISR campus! The spirit of the reunion was unique and our students were beyond excited to see their new classmates and to meet their teachers for the upcoming school year. Along with their parents, new and returning students visited their classrooms and enjoyed their time together back at ISR.
Our Meet your Teacher Event is held yearly before kindergarten and school starts, allowing our students to have a more relaxed transition into the new school year. The event also provides the opportunity to clarify any open questions from parents regarding our school bus service or SLOⓇ activities with the appropriate contact person on campus. Partners like our school caterer Broich Catering and our internal music school Musicbox Oxana presented their services, answered questions, and introduced themselves to new ISR Families. Our parents also presented the ISR Parent Network and welcomed familiar and new faces to ISR. We enjoyed seeing ISR filled with our happy families and smiling children again – we missed you all during our ISR Summer Break and are now even more excited for our school start in the coming week!
