Head of Middle School Takes Students on a Virtual Tour

While Middle School students were at home participating in remote learning during the first week of school, Head of the Middle School Bill Waskowitz gave them a peek at new safety measures enacted on campus over the summer. Using his iPad camera, Waskowitz walked students, who were logged on via Zoom, through the building, as well as The Schiff Center and Stoehr Gym. “Providing our Middle School students the chance to virtually see the numerous changes that were made to make our Middle School spaces safe for students was of paramount importance,” Waskowitz said. “Our students needed to ‘see’ these many changes, such as our revised traffic flow patterns, and classroom reconfigurations, before they literally came to school. Creating a sense of comfort and familiarity is essential for this age group, allowing them to confidently be themselves at this stage of their development.”
