The kids had spring break from March 12-17 and never returned. March 11 was, unknowingly, our last day of school. They left that day with a, “See you next Wednesday!” on their lips. No goodbyes. No closure.
After a week of the district reinventing school as we knew it, on March 25 we began remote learning, which continued until the end of the year on May 14.
Honestly, I think it was harder on the educators and parents than it was on the younger kids.
