Concern for stopping the spread of Covid-19 has prompted some changes like wearing masks, social distancing and sanitizing, but these procedures didn’t dampen the back-to-school excitement over the past week as students started a new school year across the Diocese of Rockville Centre. Here are just a few photos taken during the first days.
