Around here most schools are preparing to start up. Some districts are starting the year virtually for the first few weeks. Parents have an option to select virtual learning, but most people I know are sending their kids to school for in person learning.
The pre-school I retired from is opening up, as well as other area pre-schools. These are young children who are exempt from the mask requirements , staff however must wear them.
It will be interesting to see how this all unfolds as schools shut down so quickly last Spring. I am really hoping everything goes smoothly.
We shut down in March without a single case in our school community - still haven’t had a single confirmed case. That’s 3000 students, 400 staff, all their families... not a one.
