For the eighth straight week, students in some art, English, social studies and world languages classes gather in the auditorium for their third period class. Students log onto Zoom in the room every day if their teacher opted to remain virtual, talking only in whispers while a few staff members supervise.

“Learning in the auditorium is not ideal,” senior Jack McGuire said. “You don’t get to directly interact with your teachers; it’s like you’re just learning at home.”
