Maximum Flexibility
The past several years have tested the Flexibility of schools like never before. If someone had told you a year before the Pandemic that you could switch to online school in a matter of DAYS, you would have laughed at them. The truth is, you did it! It took more than days to work out all the kinks, and we are still recovering from its effect on student learning, but you did it. This also happened at a time when your personal life required Flexibility too. Adapting to all of the changes in family dynamics and running a household required boatloads of Flexibility.
