Teachers learn a new way to do their jobs

COVID-19 may have left empty halls and empty classrooms in the Eagle Grove Area Community School District last week, but it did not leave empty minds.

When school dismissed unexpectedly back in March, administrators and teachers had no idea it would be the last time they saw their students in their classrooms for the remainder of the year. As the summer inched by, they quickly realized that they may not get their students back at the start of the new school year either. Just in case, they began working on a plan for online learning, hoping they wouldn’t need it.
