The Jericho school district was one of the first districts on Long Island to open its doors to students this past Monday. Staff and students greeted each other at the bus stop and school entrances, after several years of having to hide behind face masks. “It was evident that both the staff and students were excited to be back and able to see each other in-person,” said school superintendent, Hank Grishman. “After almost three years of living with Covid regulations, it was nice to see a sense of normalcy in our district again.” Grishman said that the majority of staff and students were not wearing face masks, but they were optional if people still chose to wear them. Also gone were many of the mainstays that had become a familiar sight to staff and students these past few years. There were no vinyl face-shields on students desks as they entered their classrooms, and there weren’t any written regulations regarding social distancing rules and contact tracing protocols. “A lot of the kids told me they were happy to see their teachers faces not hidden behind a mask during their instruction. I think having these relaxed restrictions will make for a much richer learning experience for all,” said Grishman. The students were excited to learn that many of the district’s programs and school trips were back on the schedule after having been canceled the past few years. Overnight field trips, such as the Eighth Grade trip to Washington D.C is back, as well as field trips to various sites across Long Island, including the Cold Spring Harbor Lab and to Jones Beach. Denise Nash, director of public information in the district, said that out of the 3,208 students in the district, 97% attended classes on Monday. The school district was proud to unveil a new piece of equipment that was purchased over the summer, at a cost of $105,000. The new piece of instructional equipment, called an Anatomage table, was installed at the high school. The table is a highly sophisticated electronic device that is capable of producing three dimensional images of human cadavers. The device will be used in many of Life Science classes.
