“ Whatever it is, coronavirus has made the mighty kneel and brought the world to a halt like nothing else could. Our minds are still racing back and forth, longing for a return to “normality”, trying to stitch our future to our past and refusing to acknowledge the rupture. But the rupture exists. And in the midst of this terrible despair, it offers us a chance to rethink the doomsday machine we have built for ourselves. Nothing could be worse than a return to normality.
Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next.
We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it. “ - Arundvati Roy
HU Team;
During our Building based team meeting last week we felt overwhelming energy and confidence in the fact that no matter what lies ahead we’ve got this together.
Although there is much up in the air our Department heads, Building based team, Scheduling team, some dwarfs from moria, a few woodland elves, rohan riders, gondor viragos, and a few random hobbits who happen to have a ring that glows (add heroic LOTR music here) are continuing with their readiness for a very unique school opening this fall. Please find the current plan for our Master School Schedule and an opportunity to share questions and needs.
We also recognize that there is much work happening by each of you to adjust your curriculum, grow your online skill set and ready yourself generally speaking to the unique reality of what teaching and learning will look like this year.
Your collective energy and efforts are the reason we’ll make this happen for our students.
In gratitude and in partnership,
Meg, Laurie, Duane
