When a family is expected to learn from home how does that affect them?

October 12, 2020

Ritenour school district spent several months putting together learning plans for students who will be attending school through a national pandemic. The district officially returned to schools on August 31 for the 2020-2021 school year. In July, it was announced that Ritenour School District Pre-K-12, will be fully virtual until numbers in the St. Louis County area were contained for COVID transmission.

This is one family’s story of how they felt and what they did to learn through this unprecedented learning within their home.
