Not the year expected
Not the year we expected...
The COVID-19 pandemic altered the lives of our students, teachers and families.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. Schools closed and distance learning
began. But teachers adapted, pivoted and responded to continue teaching and
making connections with their students digitally.
"My US History AP teacher, Mr. Hill, didn't miss a beat when school closed in March. Right
away, Mr. Hill recorded full-length lectures that we watched on YouTube. Then we would meet
as a class via Zoom to go over the lecture and to ask questions. He gave us a Google sheet to
sign up for individual Zoom meetings to go over our essays and to give us feedback one on
one. Preparing for an AP exam is stressful, but I am so thankful that my teacher was able to
continue teaching effectively virtually!"
- Abbie Maemoto, 12th grade student at PV High School
