Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, our students and staff moved to online learning from March 16th to May 22nd, 2020. We learned a lot about uploading curriculum and documents to the cloud, setting routines and schedules, and being accountable for learning with students at home.
We used our new knowledge to start this current school year strong online. On September 8th, we were able to come back at 25% of our occupancy. This allowed for some of our students to return to the classroom. It is so amazing to have the children in their classrooms, social-distancing and with many layers of protection for both students and staff.
School is different, yet learning is still taking place; the children are interacting (6ft apart), and we continue to strive to meet the needs of our community. It is a blessing to see the children in person, as well as to see the beautiful faces of those at home and online.
The world is changing. We have faith that we will get through this pandemic. We are praying that the governor will allow private schools to return to 50% occupancy like public schools. Meanwhile, we will continue to teach and to reach all of our students.
