Rochester-area Catholic-school students, teachers adjust to 'new normal'

From Catholic Courier (www.catholiccourier.com)

Communication. Flexibility. Patience.

These three elements, while always important in a school setting, have become absolutely critical in recent weeks as educators, students and parents alike adapt to a “new normal,” according to local Catholic educators.

"I think the most important thing is just for everyone to remember we are all navigating all of this newness at the same time, and patience is really the key," remarked Maria Cahill, principal at St. Pius Tenth School in Chili, which re-opened Sept. 9.
