The 2020/2021 school year was unlike any we've ever experienced. From many moments of doubt and uncertainty to teaching in ways we've never imaged, it was certainly a unique and challenging year. Synchronous and asynchronous instruction, virtual, hybrid and concurrent teaching were just a few of the words that come to mind when I think about this past school year. Oh, concurrent teaching... I'll never forget finding out that we were bringing students back in January but also allowing students to Zoom into our classrooms. So many questions flooded my mind. How is this possible? Do we have infrastructure to handle this? How will we manage students on Zoom when there are students in front of us that we need to focus on? How do we set rooms up for this to be a possibility? I can't imagine the questions you had and the mixed emotions you were feeling. Fortunately, like everything else this year we saw it through. Students returned and you learned to navigate between "Zoomies" and "Roomies" and provide all of your students what they needed to be successful. You learned to use technology in new and innovative ways to meet their needs. You dealt with safety mitigations and worked tirelessly to ensure you and your students were masked, sanitized and distanced. Through all of the challenges this year, you've been able to overcome the obstacles that seemed impossible in the moment. In writing this, it's officially summer break. You deserve this one. Take time to relax, reflect and unwind this summer. Thank you for everything you have done and continue to do to support our students. See you in August!
