Staying connected to our students and families was important to us during the extended closures. Schools did a great job creating virtual content to reassure our students that we were still there for them and missed them. From school parades in communities where our students could safely see us from a distance and wave as their school staff went by to creating videos to put a smile on our students’ faces, there was no end to the dedication and creativity of our staff. Below are just a couple of examples of the work our schools did to help stay connected while we couldn’t be together physically.
