Justin Woychowski (Bailey student) is shown reading and typing in his Google Classroom on-line log, while his Golden Retriever Shandy sleeps. Justin is like the 6,000-plus students in the West Haven School System, using “distance learning” to get in his lessons.

Molly Kennedy, second grader at Alma E. Pagels, sits at a dining room table and does her lessons remotely on her computer.

This is a submission from Kara Barton-Nieves showing her Pagels Students hard at work!

Here, Nico (12) Isabella(10) Dante(9) and Marco (8) Antonucci are reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in the morning before starting distance learning for the day.

The Antonuccis (Nico, Isabella, Dante and Marco) look to spread cheer by having a parade up and down Benham Hill Road, waving at folks and playing the flute.

Judges Cave, an historical site on its own, is also a representation of some of the topography that makes up the New Haven area.
