On August 10 and 11 orientation days were held for staff in preparation for the start of the new school year on August 13. Staff were informed of the procedures to be implemented for the protection of students and staff under the new normal situation, and teachers prepared their classrooms to receive their student for the first time since March. There was a busy hum of anticipation and discussion as to how to motivate the students after such a long absence. We look forward to a new and revitalized school year.
