4. ♫ Getting to know you ♪
Hi there! I’m Mr. Macuk. The first thing I’d like you to do is me at my school address and introduce yourself.
If you do not yet have a spyponder , don’t worry, (♫be happy♪), we’ll take care of that later.
You also need to go to my school page and fill in the student survey. (see next slide) Your parents can fill in the parent survey; if you are a foreign exchange student, your host family can fill it in after you arrive.
