🚨 Big deal! After intentional remote platform use in Sep, we opened our doors today to students at all @aecinyc schools for hybrid learning. Students and teachers are safe, healthy and learning together in person while remote platform gets stronger every day. For our kids 💪🏾

This preparation is crucial for a successful remote learning start. Proud of our team!
