This Tuesday, September 7 will see the return of in-person education of most students, and educators, in most states. But this year, will be a different year for many. Most schools have been closed for the previous year and some children have missed all formalized learning during that time. Children who would have been in kindergarten or first grade missed being in classrooms. Most states, thanks to Covid and the latest variant they will be wearing masks for their time in schools. They will need to keep their distances, wash their hands, wear their masks. And it will be the responsibility of educators to insure that those directives are followed.
I wish my colleagues, a safe, healthy, and joyful school year. May you be well, your families, your students, and their families.
