Coffee with the DS⼁ds.office@gisthailand.org
We will be hosting a virtual Coffee with the Deputy Superintendent. During this season of Continuous Learning, we want to provide a space for parents to connect with Joe Crain and ask any questions they might have and/or provide any feedback about the Continuous Learning experience.
We will do this once every week for this season of Continuous Learning and will alternate between Secondary and Elementary parents. We started with Secondary the first week, then Elementary last week, and back to Secondary this week. Thanks to all the Elementary parents who joined us for coffee, and for all of your valuable feedback. We appreciate your time and energy.
Note: Coffee not provided!
“Coffee with the DS – Secondary Edition,” Tuesday, September 7th, from 2:30 pm – 3:15 pm.

Don’t be afraid to make it fun! Have a pet that is keeping you on track while you work? Snap a picture! Have a ridiculous amount of books open on your desk? Snap a picture! Having to use an unconventional chair or desk? Snap a picture! The more photos the yearbook staff can collect, the better our yearbook will be!
