To Staff and the Twin Rivers School Community,
The consequences of COVID-19 have been far reaching across both our personal and professional lives. Whether altering how we care for family members and friends or reconfiguring how we work, we have all faced immediate, significant, and rapid changes. This has been a tall order for public schools across our nation.
Consider our own school district: Twin Rivers Unified employs 3,085 people and serves over 12,000 breakfasts and lunches to students daily. On top of that and beginning just a few months ago, our district began to speedily acquire 23,200 laptops, and continues to secure internet access for all households. TR also supports 1,474 teachers to help them shift from tried and trusted in-person teaching to delivering online instruction.
The pace of change required to move teaching and learning online has been head-spinning, but our team did it. We do not boast perfection. We cannot claim that our work is without mistakes or gaps, but we can declare with a calm confidence that our entire team pivoted, and together, we persevered to meet the needs of our students.
