Episcopal colegios in the Dominican Republic opened for a second time this school year. MINERD mandated that schools could begin in-person teaching on June 1st. The Dominican school system determined that putting children in classrooms for only a few weeks would be disruptive; face-to-face education will begin as the 2021-2022 academic year begins in August. As the Dominican Episcopal schools edge toward “business as usual”, virtual classrooms will continue for several more weeks.
Every mother with a child at San Andres received a gift reminding them that a mother leaves “footprints of love” at the school.
While teaching/learning remains a Zoom-aided process, colegios maintain long-held traditions, including celebrations of parental support and student achievement. As these photos illustrate, Colegio San Andres once again held its annual “Dia de las Madres”, applauding the women who make such a difference in the education of students across the grade levels.
Faculty members dramatize the lives of mothers and fathers in Biblical times.
Postings to follow. The Dominican colegios have risen to so many challenges during this pandemic year. Once again, they move forward!
