We hope that this long weekend (no school on Thursday & Friday) provided a much needed break for students from the screens. Hopefully students got some fresh air and some social opportunities in safe ways.
Teachers spent Thursday in rich professional development sessions focused on Diversity, Equity, Inclusion and Justice issues; collaboratively started plans for possible reopening; and engaged with top consultants to improve curriculum, pedagogy, and/or student support systems.
The long weekend is well-earned and much needed by everyone.
