With the Start of Hybrid Learning, Students Return to Campus

Ryan Cechini, Staff Reporter

On Monday, Feb. 17, the sophomores and seniors of the red cohort were reunited after navigating online learning for almost an entire year. 

With the shift to a hybrid learning system, La Salle students have the opportunity to see campus, classmates, and teachers in person again. Because of the safety precautions in place, such as one-directional routes to follow in the hallways, desks spaced six feet apart, and a mask mandate, this reunion was far from normal but still provided the social connection and in-person instruction many students have been missing.

Here is what the first day of hybrid learning looked like.
