The nation of Vietnam is welcoming students back to schools across the country this week. It is wonderful to see students back on the campus of my international school. Our administrators and teachers have shifted from virtual to face-to-face teaching with their usual proactive and adaptable natures. Here is an email that went out to parents mapping out the transition of students to school. One can definitely say that our administrators have written the book on how to design and implement virtual school. Today they added a chapter on student reentry to campus. 🙂
