The Beauty of School Reopening

Our grandson has attended in-person kindergarten for a little over two weeks now. The school is in Lakewood, CA, and part of the Long Beach Unified School District. I have nothing but praise for how the school district and school administration prepared for the reopening. I attended three weekly Zoom calls with the Principal to hear about the safety plans and to have questions answered. The week before reopening, they had all the students come over for a COVID test. Each morning the parents submit answers to a questionnaire on the student’s health and the student’s temperature is taken before entering the building. They maintain social distancing in the classroom, wear masks and sanitize the room regularly. At snack break the kids sit is separate hula hoops on the playground. But the most impressive thing is what I see when I pick my grandson up after school. The parents and grandparents are all waiting outside. Everyone is wearing a mask. It’s wonderful to see the full support of the families to do what is best for the health of their kids and their families.
