Schools are in session. But due to COVID-19, the 2020-2021 school year is operating differently. Approaches to teaching and learning are functioning in unique ways. The goal to give students an excellent experience remains, despite different measures.
Education in Racine County is happening in virtual formats, face to face learning, and hybrid models. Whichever methods may be taking place, an educator is supporting your child’s needs.

Inspired by an Educator
There is no doubt that public service workers, including teachers, make a positive impact on Racine. In addition, stories about hometown heroes are featured on our site here. These stories here, sparked interest from an educator in Racine.
Halli Lannan, assistant director of curriculum instruction at the Racine Unified School District, weighs in on the series.
“This year will look different but different isn’t bad. You may not have all the answers today, and that is okay. Today, kids just want to see you and know that you are there for them,” Halli said.
Together we will adapt to new ways of learning. Along the way, we will share stories of these difference makers.
