I’ve basically been completely swamped by the perfect storm of a major project at work and the “launch” of Yu Ying.  The latter project is off to a fabulous start, the former is, er, troubled at the moment. Thus, no posting for over a month.

We opened the doors of the school the day after Labor Day with about 140 students. The kids were as nervous as one would expect 4 – 6 year olds to be at a new school (or their first school in the case of some of the Pre-kindergarteners). The parents were generally hopeful and have proved pretty supportive and enthusiastic. The faculty and staff have been downright fantastic.

The most interesting technology aspect has been our use of a school portal for families that we built with Google Sites. We had pretty big aspirations to be tech-forward and communicative school, and this is the most visible component of that strategy. So far, it is working out pretty well, but I think we can do even better. I’ll write up more thoughts on this in the coming weeks.
