Going back to school may look a little untraditional this year, but that has not stopped Orange County students, staff, teachers and families from making the best of these still uncertain times.
Although most of Orange County’s nearly 500,000 students did not return to their physical campuses for the start of the 2020-21 school year, families and district staff took to social media like never before to chronicle what the first days of distance learning looked like in their homes and on their campuses.
Here is a sample of social media posts from schools across Orange County.
