We only had a couple of days after our Singapore vacation when the back to school activities began. The kids were changing schools for the new school year and would be attending the American School of Dubai (ASD). Many of the kids' friends also attend the school, so were feeling excited and optimistic for the new year ahead. To kick off the school year, ASD hosted a full day of parent and student orientations to welcome new families. The students were welcomed by fellow ambassadors with campus tours and various activities like games and pizza, while the parents participated in multiple meetings, sessions, and "coffee mornings" as they are known here. The kids were so excited about the new school and all it offered, as well as seeing their friends after the summer.
During the orientation day, we visited the gym for multiple things like PE uniform sizing, school supplies, and even snacks with free ice cream by a visiting vendor. We also had some lunch on campus at the Subway restaurant - how cool is that! - which would be the first of MANY Subway sandwiches for the school year, ha!
As Connor was off on his own with the middle school sessions, Kaitlynn and I walked to the elementary campus for the long-awaited meet and greet with her new 4th grade teacher, Ms. Wiltgen. Kaitlynn was SO excited to meet her in person, and she was welcomed into her classroom with some activities and invitation to find her locker. What excitement for the year ahead!
