School Starts Once Again


Jack started preschool this week!  He had great reports from his teachers, and has made many new friends already.  There is only one girl that he already knew, a little girl whose parents are also teachers.  Until now, he has been in a nursery with all staff kids, but now he is in the big school! 

The preschool building is brand new, replacing an older building which was torn down last year. It is right in the middle of our campus, so Rob and I walk past it several times a day.  Jack says he see us walk by sometimes.  He also sees Cora's group from nursery out walking around.

Our campus has three schools on it - Dhahran High School, where we work -  DEMS (Dhahran Elementary/Middle School), which is where Jack now attends! - and Dhahran British Grammar School, which is Preschool to grade 10 following the British national curriculum.  The district offices, like the superintendent and HR offices, are also located on our campus.  We are next to the US consulate.

Hoping for a break from this humidity and another good week of school!
