Welcome Back! DAIS Community Starts the School Year Strong

Dalian American International School students, teachers, staff and administration are happy to reunite on campus after the summer break.

Faculty Orientation

DAIS Elementary and Secondary teachers have been on campus from August 7 preparing to start the new school year. During the several days of professional learning, they went through all details and expectations they need to refresh before the students return to school:

• Mission and Vision, School Wide Learning Outcomes (SWLO) and Strategic Initiatives,
• Behavior Intervention System, Safeguarding Responsibilities, NAE Collaborations,
• Best Practices in Assessment, Advisory Structure, Standards Based Grading,
• and many more!

A special warm welcome to new faculty who went the extra mile to feel comfortable, confident, and competent as they got to know our school better and prepared to meet their students.

Back to School Event

The Back-to-School event on Wednesday, August 16 afternoon has been a blast!

First of all, boarding students settled down in the dorm. Then, after receiving all necessary materials (including the student cards- the most important document during the upcoming academic year!) and a short welcome speech by the school administration all families headed to the classrooms to meet the teachers.

First Day of School

Returning to campus after summer is always super exciting, the first official day of school for DAIS Elementary and Secondary on Thursday, August 17 was a special celebration for both students and teachers. Greetings from the Head of School and the friendly Sea Dragon, ice breakers in the classrooms, assemblies, locker distributions and the first nutritious lunch of the long school year made the day.

Please have an outstanding, awe-inspiring, safe and memorable school year!
