By Jon Roberts – Denver, Colorado … As the pandemic worsens in the Rocky Mountain region, the precautions in place to keep our teachers and students safe are working as schools remain open for in-person education.
The education department is monitoring the ever-changing coronavirus situation closely.
“As this pandemic changes and progresses, we certainly cannot predict the future, but are doing our best to keep students, staff, and families safe while striving to provide the very best learning possible,” Lonnie Hetterle, VP of Education, said.
Classes have continued with minor changes.
“All our schools have continued to operate in person with a few minor exceptions and only for smaller groups. Brighton Adventist Academy has a group of students attending classes virtually, but they will be coming back to the classroom in just a couple of days. Mile High Academy has also had students attending virtually, but none of the schools have had to move to total online learning for all their students,” Hetterle stated.
As our schools race toward the end of the semester, Hetterle is hoping that they remain open for in-person education.
“This is certainly a changing time, but we are promised that the Lord changes not, so are we also trying to change not,” Hetterle concluded.
