Beachwood offers a hybrid model of remote and in-person learning for middle and high schoolers who chose to return to the classroom.

But Superintendent Robert Hardis says for a quarter of Beachwood’s elementary students, remote learning remains a way of life.

It s a school day at Findley Elementary in Akron, but it s eerily quiet, according to Dean of Students Theresa Essandoh.
“This is our playground, and it’s such a sad sight that there aren’t any kids running around,” she said.
