Covid Restrictions Lessen with Start of the 22-23 School Year

By Will Patterson

Moeller started this school year with little to no Covid restrictions, as opposed to prior years where there were too may to count.

Back when Covid started in March of the 2019-2020 school year, students and teachers didn’t know what to think as school was quickly cancelled for three weeks, and shifts in our school’s schedule and guidelines began to go into effect. After these three weeks ended, online school started for Moeller and continued until the end of the year. The following school year students came back to Moeller and were met with a ton of Covid restrictions, including a mask mandate, a mandatory Covid screening every morning and before sports, and most importantly, contact tracing, where students would get quarantined if they were close to a student who contracted Covid. This school year hundreds of students were quarantined throughout the year, so Moeller got acclimated to online learning, which is a very good thing in case some other event happens that could cancel school for a prolonged period of time.

Flash forward to this school year and there are no Covid restrictions, and it’s very doubtful that they will ever come back to Moeller, though Moeller faculty and staff are ready if another similar pandemic level event happens again.
