The first four months of school have been very challenging for our staff, students and their families. We had to put Covid-19 safety protocols in place, figure out how to bring different groups into school safely and set up completely remote classes. We have had to open and close and reopen several times as we contend with Coronavirus in our community.

It has been hard to simply catch our breath.

Although things are difficult for our school community, there are so many wonderful things happening. ❤️   We still learn each and every day- together
❤️   We laugh and play- together.
❤️   We dream of a better world - together.
❤️  We are working to build a better school- together.

Please take some time to read through these posts and enjoy the wonderful work being done at PS 197.
