Hello, friends!
Well, things certainly have changed a bit, haven't they?!
Last week, I wrote about how we didn't know that Ezra's school start date had been moved up a week and how we were scrambling to get him ready for school. Well, apparently, the law of the land right now is, "hold all things loosely."
On Thursday, we went to Ezra's Back to School night. He picked up his mask, met his teacher, as well as the school nurse, counselor, and administrator. Omaha Public Schools was on a "3/2" schedule, meaning Ezra was going to be in class Thursdays and Fridays, as well as every other Wednesday.
Friday, we got the news. Due to a spike in cases in Omaha, OPS decided to move the start of school back a week and be completely virtual for the first quarter. It was a big disappointment for us but we trust the OPS administration and agree with their assessment.
So, we have one more week to prepare for life witha kindergartener at home. We got a rough look at his schedule today from his teacher and it looks like he'll be in front of the school-issued tablet for a good chunk of the day. We aren't excited about it but we know there are no perfect answers.
Please be praying for us. Pray that Ezra will still have a positive kindergarten experience. Pray that we'll be able to figure out all the logistics that come from him being at home while in class. Pray that Omaha will be able to get a handle on this pandemic so he can go to school in person during the second quarter. Pray for peace for Meg and me as we try to navigate all this.
Have an excellent day!
~Adam
