Remote Learning began today! Burnet Hill teacher Krystina Riggi shared the image above stating, "Remote learning can’t stop us from seeing each other! This is the highlight of my day so far!" In the words of LPS Superintendent Dr. Block, " While we could never replicate the normal Livingston Public Schools experience remotely, I am confident that the standard of excellence that guides our work each day will continue to be apparent as we work through this challenge." Go LPS!
