Gauchos still optimistic UCSB remains hopeful of playing fall sports By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

T

he California State University system sent shock waves through the collegiate sports world on Tuesday when it announced that classes at its 23 campuses will be held almost exclusively online during the upcoming fall semester because of the coronavirus pandemic. It could be the first domino to fall toward the cancellation of the fall sports seasons at those schools, five of which play soccer with UCSB in the Big West Conference. CSU chancellor Timothy White didn’t want to kick the COVID-19 can down the road, but coaches at the nine University of California schools are still waiting for the other shoe to drop. “I think that everything is still on the table, and that’s across the NCAA,” Gaucho men’s soccer coach Tim Vom Steeg said. UCSB, which finished with a 15-5-4 record while advancing to last year’s NCAA quarterfinals, has even more to lose than its own fall season. Harder Stadium

is scheduled to play host to the College Cup — soccer’s Final Four — on Dec. 11 and 13. But Vom Steeg said “the smoke cleared a little bit today” during a UCSB Zoom call conducted on Wednesday by athletic director John McCutcheon. “The athletic departments of some of the Big West Conference schools, and (Big West commissioner) Dennis Farrell put out statements saying that there is every intention to play sports in the fall,” he said. “I think each campus has a little bit of autonomy with their situation because of where they’re located and the plans they’ve been able to make. “This is the case at the UCs. Every UC school is in the process of figuring out how to make this whole thing work.” The athletic departments at the CSU schools are also reportedly negotiating with White’s office to allow their student-athletes on campus. None have cancelled their seasons so far, although the California Collegiate Athletic Association — an NCAA Division II conference — has decided not Please see OPTIMISTIC on A8

Crane Country Day School’s online program stresses flexibility, independent learning By PAUL GONZALEZ NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

C

rane Country Day School’s classes look a little different, but teachers and administrators have managed to hold onto the school’s mission to provide an experiential education experience. “It’s sort of hands-on activities or ‘learning by doing,’ and so there’s a lot of trial-and-error. There’s a lot of student involvement, there’s experimenting, prototyping, things of that sort,” Peggy Smith said. Ms. Smith is the head of Crane’s upper school, which serves grades 6 through 8. The coronavirus outbreak forced Crane to move classes online and

rearrange its school day to give students larger blocks of time with each subject. Ms. Smith said school administrators decided on a block schedule to allow students to focus on three subjects every day instead of six. Students take online classes over video calls from 9 a.m. to noon on school days. Each upper school section has 12 to 15 students. Ms. Smith said students quickly learned how to mute and unmute themselves during video calls and how to utilize the text chat function to ask questions. “As you can imagine, kids are more sophisticated or more comfortable with technology than some of their teachers, but we are learning right alongside them. Sometimes the roles are flipped,

you know, they’ll say to a teacher, ‘This is what you have to do, click on this.’ There’s a sweetness to that in that sometimes the roles are reversed, they become the teacher, and we become the student,” Ms. Smith said. In the afternoon, the students attend virtual office hours with their teachers or continue with independent study. “It’s sort of like a combination of office hours or study hall or homework time and so kids are doing their assignments they were given that morning. If they need extra help or want to check in with teachers about something for clarification, they can just contact those teachers, and they’re all available for them,” Ms. Smith said. The independent learning

program ties into experiential education because it gives students the opportunity to experience work-like professional responsibilities. Crane students were up to the challenge and are thriving under the program, Ms. Smith said. “They are learning executive functioning skills, in terms of they’re learning, ‘OK, I have to respond to emails’ and ‘I have to read the entire email’ before immediately responding because the answer might be in there. In many ways they’re kind of growing up and maturing, not really in front of our eyes, but right in front of us on the screen,” Ms. Smith said. Parents and teachers are Please see LEARNING on A8

805 Inspires TVSB partners with museums, gardens on videos

By JOSH GREGA NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

S

anta Barbara County museums remain closed to the public due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but they have teamed up with TV Santa Barbara for 805 Inspires. It’s a collaborative effort to produce online videos that bring museum exhibits and gardens into the homes of members of the public. 805 Inspires involves 20 organizations such as the Santa Barbara Botanic Garden, Lotusland, the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural History, MOXI and the Mission Archive Library. The new project has supplied the museums and gardens with equipment and training to create online videos focused on their respective missions. This effort was spearheaded by Santa Barbara Botanic Garden executive director Steve Windhager. Dr. Windhager told the NewsPress that the idea of increasing the museums’ online video

content came during the most recent quarterly meeting held between the county’s museum and garden directors. These meetings allow the directors to exchange ideas on the best ways to run their organizations, discuss the challenges they face and how those challenges can best be addressed. The last meeting’s discussions centered on how museums are faring with the shutdowns, and the directors ultimately agreed that their institutions should find a way of connecting to the community during the shutdown. “The idea came up that we should try to do something to reach out to the general public we serve since they can’t come to our museums,” Dr. Windhager said. Through the Santa Barbara County Office of Arts & Culture, the museums applied for a $10,000 Santa Barbara Foundation grant that was formally awarded on Wednesday. Split 20 ways between the participating museums, each received $500 to pay for lights, Please see INSPIRES on A8

County residents embrace gardening during pandemic

s Santa Barbara County inches towards reopening, those stuck at home have turned to gardening to bring a little green into their lives. “I’ve been doing this for 30 years. I’ve never sold vegetables like I have this year,” said Marilyn Minteer, garden manager at Carpinteria Valley Lumber Co. “There are so many people that are getting into home gardening. It’s great.” Ms. Minteer said lettuce, carrots, tomatoes and peppers are flying off the shelves because they’re hardy and easy to grow. She said home gardeners can buy growing seedlings from the nursery, but carrots, corn, pumpkins and lettuce are easy to grow from seeds. A plant’s needs depend on how the gardener plants it. Ms. Minteer said a starter set for a tomato plant should include: the tomato plant, a container, soil, a tomato cage and a plant food. “I would go with a large container because that tomato is going to outgrow a small one really quick. For soil we carry the Fox Farms brand at our store, their Strawberry Fields and Ocean Forest blends. When you put the two together, it’s the best you can do for your vegetable garden,” Ms. Minteer said. She added that it’s important to install the tomato cage during planting, so the tomato can grow into the support structure. “It’s an actual structure made out of metal. When you put the tomato in the pot, you put (the cage) into the soil,” Ms. Minteer said. “As your tomato grows and the fruit is on it, the weight of the branches are supported by that cage. It’s so important to do that as soon as you get your tomato because they grow really quick. Before you know it, they’re too big to cage without doing damage to the plant.” She continued that gardeners can choose from synthetic plant foods that can be applied with a water can or natural granular foods that can be worked into the soil around the base of the plant. Gardeners can use natural insect repellants like sluggo or food-grade diatomaceous earth to protect their vegetables from pesky critters. Ms. Minteer said planting marigolds and vegetables together will protect the vegetables from some pests and add color to the garden “Certain pests in your garden, aphids, things like that would rather live on that marigold than on your vegetables,” Ms. Minteer said. She also suggested geraniums

as low-maintenance, droughttolerant and colorful plants. “If you can get a good balance of your heat-tolerant color, you can weave in a little annual color, your petunias and patients, you can change out your seasonal color and still have your base color,” Ms. Minteer said. Pro Garden Supply team member Manny Cardenas said home gardeners with a little more space should look into fruit-bearing trees like lemon and orange trees. Pro Garden Supply is located at 18 N. Milpas St., Santa Barbara. “It’s a good idea to have anything that bears fruit around. Our citrus trees are some of the

best in town. We have Meyer lemons, kumquats, anything you could want,” Mr. Cardenas said. He added that pomegranate trees and passion fruit plants bear a lot of fruit once they are in-season. “They love the climate here in Santa Barbara, pomegranates especially. If you start from seeds, they will be bearing fruit within the year. If you buy a plant, they should be producing now. Right now is the time that they flower, so in a couple months they should be producing beautiful pomegranates,” Mr. Cardenas said. He suggested, oregano, French thyme and lettuce for those who are planting in an apartment. “Basically, anything that grows straight up is good. You can get a raspberry and place that by an apartment wall and put a trellis

on the back of it. That raspberry can act like a little wall of blackberries or raspberries that you have inside your house, that would be pretty cool,” Mr. Cardenas said. Those with an apartment patio can look into dwarf citrus trees. Mr. Cardenas said he enjoys gardening because it gives him an opportunity to “space out” and enjoy spending time outdoors. “I get my hands dirty and get them wet with water,” he said. “Transplanting plants is my favorite thing. “I just love sweating a little bit, getting that energy out of you at the end of the day. When it’s not too hot, and the sun is hitting you out on the back of the head it feels great.” email: pgonzalez@newspress.com

Author turns prophetic Writer produces thriller about pandemic: ‘World Gone Dark’ By MARK PATTON NEWS-PRESS SENIOR WRITER

The coronavirus pandemic has brought some “Future Shock” to the writing of Santa Barbara author Catharine Manset Morreale. “World Gone Dark” — the working title for her near-future thriller about a deadly pandemic — was in her agent’s hands when the COVID-19 crisis took hold earlier this year. It will be shown to publishers for their consideration. The book is about a single mother named Willa who is trying to survive a worldwide killer virus as she drives across the country with her young daughter. “Sadly, it’s actually now become a novel of the present,” said Ms. Morreale, who writes under the pen name of Catharine Riggs. “It’s been a little frightening to discover how prescient the novel is.” She finished the first draft of “World Gone Dark” several years ago. She put it aside, however, after signing a contract with the publishing house of Thomas & Mercer to write a “Santa Barbara suspense trilogy.” The first of those three books, “What She Gave Away,” hit bookstores in 2018 and “What She Never Said” was released last September. The third book in the series, “What She Hid Inside,” has yet to be published. (More information is available at her website, catharineriggs.com). “My agent (Rebecca Scherer of COURTESY PHOTO New York’s Jane Rotrosen Agency) Local author Catharine Manset Morreale, who writes under the pen approached me last summer and name of Catharine Riggs, shows her book “What She Never Said.” said that now is the perfect time to go back to ‘World Gone Dark,’” Ms. Her novel does “go farther,” she lender.

matters into your own hands and build your future, Libra. You’re fed up with living on hope and putting your happiness off until tomorrow. Your determination will be so strong that you may even surprise yourself. You’ll refine your approach and make it more concrete in the coming days. Today is the first day of a new life for you. Just be safe and stay healthy! SCORPIO — Scorpio, this is an ideal moment to address the questions that have been on your mind for the last few weeks. Focus on any uncertainties about your emotional life. If you’re currently involved in unsatisfactory relationships, don’t be afraid to leave them behind. If you’re fretting about an unanswered request, let it go. No response is forthcoming. People have a lot on their minds these days, so it may not even be personal. SAGITTARIUS — If you lack of confidence in yourself, Sagittarius, those uncertainties are coming to an end. You’ve been hesitant to stand in the spotlight for quite a while now, perhaps feeling that you weren’t quite ready. Well, no more excuses! Ready or not, you’re going to have to push forward?life is short, and the times are far from normal. The only thing you risk losing is your pride, and believe it or not, pride is your most resilient asset. CAPRICORN — It’s possible that the last few weeks have brought clarity around certain questions about your vocation, Capricorn. You may even have a better sense of what you think your destiny is. Now that you’ve reached this point, it’s time to stop thinking about such things, and let life take over. You’re well armed for this! To some extent, you can even manage circumstances to work for your benefit. AQUARIUS — These last few weeks have been good for your equilibrium, Aquarius. It was a question of becoming more involved in life than usual and showing what you’re capable of. Most likely you had a mixture of successes and setbacks, but on the whole, improvements have been steady. You may have noticed things about yourself that need improvement, but isn’t that true for everyone? PISCES — Questioning oneself is never very agreeable, Pisces, but this is the main objective of today’s celestial aspect. You’ll soon be launched into new adventures, and it’s best to be ready. Take advantage of the energy generated by this planetary configuration to look within and find the source of some of your failings. This isn’t an easy exercise, to be sure, but it will do you a world of good. Just be honest with yourself.

Since 1981 I’ve written a monthly column for the ACBL’s magazine. Many have been “over-my-shoulder� style. You listen in on my thoughts during a deal. Ninety of the best of these appear in “Play Bridge With Me,� my 23rd book, just published. The deals are intermediate level; the focus is on logical thinking. At today’s four spades, I win the first heart in dummy and lead a diamond. I can’t risk losing an early trump finesse; I need a quick pitch for my heart loser. East wins the second diamond and returns a heart, and I win to discard dummy’s last heart on my high diamond. When I finesse in trumps, East wins and exits with a trump.

HOROSCOPE

ARIES — Your great period of meditation that started a few weeks ago is now finished, Aries. This means that it’s time to get back into the real world again! Now you have to test out how the “new and improved� you are going to operate in everyday life. Get ready. You can expect some real changes! TAURUS — If you have grievances to voice about your love life, Taurus, this is the day to speak up. Indeed, anything less than total honesty won’t be tolerated today. You can expect to confront the “other,� whether mate, friend, or family member, on the basis of truth and righteousness. Know that you’ll command their attention! But be careful that the weight of your words doesn’t surpass the intention behind your thoughts. GEMINI — Are you thinking of switching careers, Gemini, or traveling to the other side of the world? With everything on lockdown right now, it might also be tempting to just want to pull a “Greta Garbo� and stay home with the shades drawn tight. A recent series of small work-related incidents is likely to inspire the most outlandish ideas. If you feel the need for a change of scene, don’t do anything too rash. CANCER — You’re likely to find people irritating today, Cancer. It’s as though nothing is good enough and nobody seems to know exactly what he or she wants. You’ll reign supreme within this conflict and dissatisfaction. You may even be asked to step in and restore order, which is easy enough to do when everyone is working remotely. If the conflict is on the domestic front, tread carefully when asked to take on the role of sheriff! LEO — You may have felt an oppressive mood hanging in the air when you woke up this morning, Leo. Unfortunately, that haze of misunderstanding and conflict is likely to last all day. However, it makes today an ideal time to speak up about anything that’s bothering you! Don’t be shy about going on the warpath if that’s what it takes. Otherwise, you’re likely to be the target of a surprise attack. VIRGO — Your mood today is the stuff of which memorable encounters are made, Virgo. You’ll be wary at first, perhaps even a bit hostile to anyone who dares to intrude on your freedom. Then you’ll realize that this person is special, intriguing, and definitely out of the ordinary. Finally, you’ll see that the qualities they offer just happen to be what you need most right now. Social distancing can’t be over soon enough for you! +*#!2 +1$)"$ LIBRA — More than ever before, you’ll feel as though it’s time to take

Codeword is a fun game with simple rules, and a great way to test your knowledge of the English language. Every number in the codeword grid is ‘code’ for a letter of the alphabet. Thus, the number 2 may correspond to the letter L, for instance. All puzzles come with a few letters to start. Your first move should be to enter these letters in the puzzle grid. If the letter S is in the box at the bottom of the page underneath the number 2, your first move should be to find all cells numbered 2 in the grid and enter the letter S. Cross the letter S off the list at the bottom of the grid. Remember that at the end you should have a different letter of the alphabet in each of the numbered boxes 1- 26, and a word in English in each of the horizontal and vertical runs on the codeword grid.

Report: County Coroner’s Bureau a ‘substandard facility’ By MITCHELL WHITE NEWS-PRESS STAFF WRITER

D

espite multiple previous Santa Barbara County Grand Jury reports calling for an upgrade to the Santa Barbara County Sheriff’s Coroner’s Bureau, the bureau and its facility remain outdated. A report published Monday by the Grand Jury reconfirmed previous reports in 2012-13, 201415 and 2015-16 that the facility should be replaced as soon as possible, finding “the serious inadequacies of the facility jeopardize the health and safety of the staff and the public.” The facility was built via inmate labor in 1987 and has been in operation since 1988. While researching reports from previous grand juries, it was revealed that many recommendations had not been implemented, according to the report. The three previous reports recommended significant upgrades, while also concluding the facility was not in compliance with California Occupational Health and Safety Administration regulations — which remains the case. In 1987, the Santa Barbara County Sheriff-Coroner requested the Board of Supervisors provide emergency funding to construct a stand-alone facility. Supervisors then directed the construction of the facility on county-owned property on San Antonio Road. The 2012-13 report found no record of a building permit on

file, which indicated the building never went through the normal review and approval process. That report also revealed the original building plan, which called for two autopsy rooms, a refrigeration unit and two offices for staff. The second autopsy room was never utilized and became a toxicology lab. It is currently being used for storage and a break room. Since 2013, major upgrades have included an emergency backup generator to the main building and an improved ventilation system for the autopsy room, according to the report. The Grand Jury noted that the Sheriff has served as the head of the bureau since 1947. In 2018, the California State Senate passed a bill requiring all counties with a population over 500,000 to separate the roles of sheriff and coroner. Then Gov. Jerry Brown vetoed the bill. The Grand Jury reported that the Sheriff-Coroner is not subject to mandatory state or national accreditation, and is not independent from law enforcement supervision. The county’s bureau is staffed by a sergeant who is the supervisor, four coroner’s investigators, one full-time pathologist, two extra-help technicians and one administrative office professional. Staff reported the review of 1,500 deaths and between 700 to 800 death investigations annually. In Santa Barbara County, all autopsies are done in one room. The Grand Jury reported there is no isolation room to handle high-risk cases to prevent possible transmission of airborne

pathogens. While the ventilation system was updated in 2017, the discharge from the system on the roof above the autopsy room is not monitored and pathogens might be discharged into the atmosphere. “Autopsies are performed on gurneys, not on a stainless-steel table, and there is no dedicated dissection table. It was observed that the gurney used for the autopsy is cleaned by hand and drained by lifting and tilting the gurney in order to drain the residue into the sink in the autopsy room,” the report stated. The bureau lacks other preventative measures to safely protect staff and equipment, including no transition room to remove protective clothing and clean up and no equipment to sterilize instruments used in autopsies. “Although instruments are cleaned with soap and water, cross-contamination cannot be avoided,” the report read. An eye-wash station was not observed during the inspection in October 2019, though a station has been added to the autopsy room. The bureau includes a refrigerated room, where bodies are placed in body bags and stored on racks within the room. Outside the main building in a secure area, there is an additional refrigerated unit that can hold two bodies and an industrial scale to weigh bodies. The weight of the body is determined after reducing allowance for the body bag and the gurney. Recently, the bureau has acquired a machine to analyze DNA for identification of victims.

This can obtain results in a few hours, saving time and money by eliminating the need to send samples to an outside lab, which could take weeks to obtain results. In the report’s conclusion, the Grand Jury reiterated many previous reports and called for the facility to be replaced as soon as possible. The Grand Jury issued several findings and recommendations, including that the Board of Supervisors establish an independent coroner’s bureau that can be accredited by the National Association of Medical Examiners. Other recommendations include: the facility’s design be specific to include two autopsy rooms, a toxicology lab, an isolation room and a refrigeration room; that discharged air is monitored to ensure no airborne pathogens are released into the atmosphere; a more modern method of body storage is provided; the installations of a body scale, stainless-steel dissecting table and an autoclave to ensure all instruments are sterilized after cleaning; the bureau meets the standards for accreditation set by the National Association of Medical Examiners and National Academy of Sciences, as recommended by the U.S. Department of Justice; and the Board of Supervisors separate the Coroner and Sheriff positions when the current Sheriff-Coroner term expires. The Board of Supervisors were asked to respond within 90 days, and the Coroner-Sheriff within 60 days. email: mwhite@newspress.com

Vom Steeg is still hopeful optimistic

to play this fall. The financial implications of cancelling fall sports would be enormous, Vom Steeg said, considering the revenue generation by major college football. “The power conferences make $60 to $90 million off their football programs,” he pointed out. One of the Cal State schools, Cal Poly, has combined with UCSB to comprise one of college soccer’s top soccer rivalries. They’ve drawn five of the 10 largest regular-season crowds in NCAA men’s soccer history, including a turnout of 14,919 in 2015. Last year’s game at Harder Stadium attracted 9,748 fans. “All the Big West coaches are in a group chat, and we’ve had a couple of Zoom meetings, the main topic being scheduling,” Vom Steeg said. “We’ve also reached out to the other three Division 1 conferences in the West, with the subject of our conversation being what to do if things become pretty regionalized. “If we lose games, does the season start later?”

UCSB men’s soccer is set to hold its first practice on Aug. 13. The Gaucho women’s team will open its workouts a week earlier. The COVID-19 crisis did force Vom Steeg to cancel his team’s opening-season trip to Northwestern. Budget shortfalls caused by the pandemic prompted McCutcheon to limit the air travel of all Gaucho teams, but Vom Steeg is still hopeful that the Gauchos can make this season’s two-game trip to South Florida

and SMU. Several of UCSB’s out-of-state opponents are still planning to come to Harder Stadium this fall. “We’re supposed to play Cornell on Sept. 11, and their coach reached out to me to say they’re not cancelling, just waiting to see what happens,” Vom Steeg said. “We’re telling him, ‘Yes, let’s see what happens in a month or so. “We have Utah Valley coming out, and they’ve confirmed all their trips. They’ve cut their travel

budget by 50% but, because of the situation, their airline flights and hotel costs are 50% cheaper than normal.” He said even the College Cup dates of Dec. 11 and 13 are flexible if the NCAA decides to start the season later than usual. “The NCAA has never had any issues about having the championship on Dec. 18 and 20, or maybe even during the first week of January,” Vom Steeg said. “It could become like a bowl event: You get in your playoff games, give it two more weeks and then play the finals.” The NCAA’s men’s soccer coaches were scheduled to vote last month on instituting a split soccer season with 13 games in the fall and nine in the spring. The proposal was tabled because of the pandemic, but Vom Steeg doesn’t rule it out for the upcoming season while pushing the College Cup to June. “Tell me what college football is doing, and I’ll tell you what we’re doing,” he said. “If college football decides they can’t get their entire season in during the fall and finish up in spring, then maybe we’d do a split season, too.” email: mpatton@newspress.com

Video production is something Lotusland has lightly dabbled in inspires

Continued from Page A1 tripods, lavalier mics, and other equipment needed to make high-quality videos with an iPad. According to Dr. Windhager, TVSB recommended specific equipment the museums should acquire and recently trained Botanic Garden personnel via Zoom on how to make videos using the equipment. He added that he is especially grateful to the nonprofit media center for sharing its expertise free of charge. “They generously are donating 100 percent of their time to make this happen,” he said. Lotusland communications director Bob Craig expressed similar sentiments about TVSB freely offering its time to museums. “The people at TV Santa Barbara have been really helpful, and they’ve spent a lot of their

precious resources and time bringing everybody onboard for this project,” he said. While each museum will use its newly acquired equipment to shoot B-roll to be used in their respective episodes, the episodes themselves will be produced and edited by TVSB. According to TVSB executive director Erik Davis, each episode will have a three-segment structure. The first segment will focus on the background of the featured institution, the second some aspect of its mission, and the third on activities that members of the general public can do related to that institution’s mission. For instance, the third segment of the Botanic Garden episode will focus on seed banking. Through this practice, the garden gathers seeds from rare California plant species and puts them in suspended animation by freezing them. In the event that a wildfire

destroys those that grow in the wild, the seeds can then be taken out of the freezer and replanted. As for Lotusland’s episode, Mr. Craig wasn’t sure about which aspect of the Montecito garden its video will focus on. From the employees at Lotusland who have organized the garden’s plant collection to the collections themselves, some of which include species that are extinct in the wild, the organization’s 805 Inspires video could center on a number of different angles. “One of the challenges for us is to pare it down,” he said. Video production is something Lotusland has lightly dabbled in and the Botanic Garden long considered starting, but neither viewed it as crucial until the COVID-19 pandemic hit. Dr. Windhager remarked, “This has been something that we’ve talked about, but it never was a priority because we’d rather be in the garden ourselves, so that’s

where we always put our effort.” Mr. Craig said the coronavirus outbreak and its resulting closure of Lotusland has driven the garden to become more “focused” on its video production, which he sees as an opportunity to further the initial intent of opera singer and Lotusland founder Ganna Walska. She always wanted Lotusland to be an educational center for horticulture, and Mr. Craig sees the organization’s bolstered video production as a way to teach a wider audience about plants. “This really plays into what she wanted in the very beginning,” he said. It’s not yet clear which organization’s episode will be the first to debut, but Dr. Windhager expects the 805 Inspires’ first episodes will debut sometime early in June on TVSB and TVSB’s YouTube channel. email: jgrega@newspress.com

‘We’re trying to make them feel comfortable with what we’re offering’ learning

keeping track of student progress to make sure everyone is keeping up with their material. Ms. Smith said students have been able to work on group projects online with some assignment adjustments from their teachers. One seventh grade class held an online “coming of age” celebration with food, music, dancing and speeches entirely online. “Teachers are doing their best and it usually involves a lot of creativity. With a creative spirit and an open mind and a generous heart, they’ve been able to replicate many of these special events and projects,” Ms. Smith said. Gayle Sandell, head of Crane’s lower school for kindergarten through fifth grade, said the transition to online learning created challenges for younger students and their parents. “We want to be mindful of the amount of screen time we assign our younger students, particularly our kindergarteners and families with children that young are making personal family decisions, as well. So, we’re trying to make them feel comfortable with what we’re offering,” Ms. Sandell said. She said that children as young as 6 years old have done an admirable job learning how to use basic video call skills like

muting a microphone. Younger children need more parental supervision and assistance during online learning. To accommodate this, Ms. Sandell said administrators decided to break up classes into 8 a.m. and 10:15 a.m. sections. “For our very youngest students, we are trying to leave some of the choice to the families. In other words, if they feel that their child can work better in the morning, sometimes they do the work in the morning when it’s not scheduled with the class. We want them to have some freedom when they actually participate,” Ms. Sandell said. “I think the greatest gift we can give families who are stressed is permission just to be OK with getting done what they can get done. We know that when we start back up in September, we are all going to be in the same boat together. “Our parents have expressed deep, deep appreciation for everything that the teachers have done. It was a very steep learning curve, not just for our students, but for our teachers as well, and I think the thing that gives us such satisfaction as a school is hearing back from those families,” Ms. Sandell said. “They see the effort and energy and hard work that is going into delivering this remote learning.” email: pgonzalez@newspress.com
