One of the many impacts of the pandemic on the school has been prolonged isolation and "siloing" which has sometimes led to worry, skepticism, and even distrust. When we're unable to have genuine contact with colleagues, parents, students or loved ones we, understandably, fill the void and make up a story. This has been hard on us as a community--at times, it has contributed to tension and, even frustration. As we all envision how we want the 2021-2022 school year to feel, I urge us to imagine how we'll reconnect with each other, how we'll renovate and rejuvenate our friendships and our community.
