The Milford Public Schools announced on March 12 that they would be removing most of the social distancing restrictions that were put in place at the start of the pandemic. 

“As logistically feasible, our school cafeterias will once again be used by students as they were prior to the pandemic,” Superintendent Dr. Cutaia said in a letter to parents. “Students will walk to the cafeteria, receive their lunch, and be able to sit with classmates, as had been common practice for years before the pandemic.”

March marks the two-year anniversary of the COVID-19 pandemic, and schools are trying to get back to as much of a “normal” as they can. 

“We need to have both short and long term plans to bring back tables to the cafeteria,” Law principal Mr. Darcy said. “I’ve submitted a plan on how to do this safely and I’m hopeful that we can make that move.”

The students at Jonathan Law are excited about the shift back to pre-pandemic life. 

“I think that it’s great that we are going back to how things were before the pandemic,” junior Rishabh Nair said. “The tables in the cafeteria will allow us to talk and socialize with each other without the extra distance.”
