We were hesitant to send our son back to school during the pandemic but every time we asked him if he wanted to go he always emphatically said yes. He loved going before COVID-19 and often would wake up asking if he was going back to school during the shut down so we decided to give it a try and see how things went and wow, were we surprised. Our son loves school even more now “with the virus” as he likes to say and doesn’t even give us trouble about wearing his mask since he knows he has to to be able to go. We, as parents, also feel more comfortable knowing only the staff is on campus, they wear masks, the kids still have lots of outdoor time, the kids have their own activity boxes to play with, and the indoor time is spaced out appropriately. In such an uncertain and challenging time it’s been a nice reprieve to hear about all the fun activities our son has been enjoying at school. We now have our second child asking when he can go :)
