Students Well-Being: “At the beginning of COVID, I was really stressed out and anxious for our students' well-being and their learning,” Ms. Hengen said. “Home is not always a safe place for all kids, so I was worried about whether they are physically and mentally safe. I think that is more what I was worried about because I am in a caring profession. I have been more worried about our students who are zooming and what that looks like for them. I feel that we will see some long-term effects from this will significantly impact my role, but at this time, I dont know that it has.”
