To Staff and the Twin Rivers School Community,
I was taught as a young boy that you should never hesitate to examine an unfortunate experience for lessons learned. Now that we can begin to return students to school, I am beginning to look at the last year in earnest for lessons learned. Twin Rivers will not shy away from studying the past year to consider these questions. What did we learn? What worked well? What do we want to hold on to?
Let’s face it, if given the choice, no one would have wanted our schools to be virtual for a year. However, a virus held the upper hand, and we had to do what was necessary to protect public health. But now that we have a clear date—Tuesday, April 6—for beginning to safely return to in-person learning (PK-6th grade), we can begin to reflect on the tremendous lessons learned from this experience.
