As we prepare for a new school year, I'm realizing there will be no "post-pandemic parenting" or "post-pandemic school," at least not any time soon. Instead, we need to help kids figure out what resources & strategies they'll need in order to learn, play & thrive "mid-pandemic."

VACCINES HELP US LEARN TOGETHER! While we may be back in class each day, we are still far from where we would like to be. Help us all return to the classroom by doing your part and get vaccinated when it’s your turn. Sign up to get your shot here: HealthVermont.gov/MyVaccine
