The 2020-21 pandemic altered school year has been a greater positive than perhaps a lot in the public could have anticipated but a Clinton Schools administrator says she isn't surprised by that.

Principal of Clinton Elementary School Sasha Young and Assistant Principal Ben Mooney on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday told Regional Radio News the school year has been going very well despite the challenges. 

Young indicates she is not surprised by the fact kids have done so well, especially with masking and distancing, because kids are very good at following instructions if you layout why they have to do things.

According to Mooney, disciplinary issues in the school are way down this year. He attributes that to the distancing that has to be maintained and also the fact the school day is so short.

Young and Mooney credit the teachers for their dedication to making the school year a success. Mooney says when last March they went to remote learning almost overnight, he says their staff did not flinch then and haven't once since.
