Udon Thani International School

An IB World School



I would like to take this opportunity to say a kind and heartfelt thank you and farewell to both parents, students, and staff alike. The following two weeks will be my final weeks at UDIS as next year my family and I will embark on a new adventure in Tashkent, Uzbekistan! 
Everyone has been so welcoming, kind, and supportive during my time here, both as Preschool Homeroom teacher and as Early Years Coordinator. I could not have been successful in either of these roles without the support and collaboration between school and parents. Your children have brought me so much joy over the last 2 years and I am very sad to say goodbye to them, especially as we cannot do it in person. So again, thank you for all you have contributed in support of your child's education over my time at UDIS. It has been very much appreciated.
