EDITOR’S NOTE
The most important story that is on everyone’s mind as August fades into September is how our schools are going to navigate this new normal. And as those plans form, how do they affect us? This Back to School Insider’s Guide is a go-to toolkit for understanding this landscape. From Mon County Schools to WVU, the plans affect everyone, whether you have kids in school or not. This is your guide on what to expect and where to go for answers as things change. Because they will change—that’s a given. But instead of railing against where we are, let’s embrace this moment together as a community. Calmly. Creatively. Kindly. Our children are watching, and they are learning lifelong lessons: how to adapt, how to be leaders, and how to let go of expectations. In this time when we feel that social distancing separates us, Morgantown magazine will continue to be here for you as your community champion and trusted source of information
M organtown has always celebrated students going back to school, taking on a new energy as fall announces itself. But COVID-19 has disrupted our lives, and what was once an exciting time is now tinged with trepidation. The old adage “Change is the only con- stant” has become a daily mantra. New South Media is not immune to change. As evidenced by this publication, we are transforming Morgantown magazine to meet the needs of the community by offering more diversified publications delivered
