At the close of the 2019-20 school year, there was a sense of hope that the new school year would usher in a return to normalcy – school buses, car lines and noisy cafeterias.

But the COVID-19 epidemic has refused to loosen its grip, even during the dog days of August. And so, this Monday students around the county found a quiet corner in their homes, fired up their Chromebook, computer or tablet and met their new teachers virtually.

It wasn’t ideal, but it was a milestone nonetheless, and parents took a moment to snap photos of their kids as they embarked on a new adventure.
