The new normal created by coronavirus means even bad weather keeps the education system on track.
“Tomorrow we are expecting snow and icy roads so we figure it’s probably better just to work from home, instead of risk getting in an accident. It’s also great for our staff as well,” Todd Cordrey, executive director at The Early College of Arvada said.
He added he bought the tools to keep the kids learning digitally: Chromebooks, wireless hotspots and a new online curriculum.
“From an educator’s perspective, we see it as a positive," Cordrey said. "The more opportunity we have to educate our kids the better off it is for them and our community."

“Miserable,” an unidentified student said. “We are not going to have any time to ourselves.”
