Dear new teachers and principals to ISM,
You must be very excited with only a few days before leaving home. I know how hard leaving family and friends can be and there is even more of an unknown with "Myanmar", but I think therein lies its appeal and congratulations for embarking on such a life changing adventure.
You will be met at the airport by either your building principal or myself. M.R. is the high school principal, Z. the middle school principal and S. the elementary principal. M and Z are new but have been to Myanmar before and should be able to find the airport!! You should be able to recognise us as Z and S have hair and M and I don't.Once you get through immigration go straight through and collect your bags. Going through the arrival gates one of us will have a sign saying ISM and your name. If the plane is delayed please email K and me. From here you will be taken to your residence. Orientation starts at school on August 1. Please don't worry about school and preparing lessons yet, your first priority is getting your place comfortable. Only then should you start thinking about school.
There will be the inevitable frustrations of being in a developing country and I know your flexible approach and sense of humour will help you through. Please do not hesitate to ask questions of any of us.
Have a safe flight and I look forward to getting to know all of you as we strive to make a difference in the lives of our students.
With best wishes,
My new headmaster
