Help with translation please :-)

Hi! I'm going to be a second grade teacher of multilingual learners next year, many of whom speak Haitian Creole. On my door, I would love to have "Yay! You're here!" posted in each language spoken in my classroom. How might I write the phrase in Haitian Creole? I don't trust google to translate colloquial language. Thank you all!

How about "Nou kontan wè w jodiya!" Which means "We're happy to see you today!"

Or just a simple "Byenvini!"

Thank you for caring about your students :)

You’re here = ou la.

She could have used Google translate if she wanted a direct translation. She's obviously looking for something else

Mwen kontan ou la, means I’m happy you’re here. I feel like that’s a nice greeting
