Susan Hasenauer has taken over as superintendent of schools in the Newark Central School District.
It’s a big move, but one that she says will be all about keeping the district ‘moving forward’.
“Teachers and administrators everywhere have had to pivot quickly and learn many new things and employ many new strategies to meet the diverse needs of their students during this time,” Hasenauer said in a press release. “Parents and families have had to do likewise, including readjusting their lives and schedules to support home learners or those with varying school schedules. As a parent of two school-age daughters, I’ve experienced some of the difficulties. The only constant is that nothing has stayed the same and things continue to change regularly.”
Newark PE teacher adjusts to online instruction

COVID-19 guidelines and restrictions have changed the way most teachers provide instruction, whether students are learning in-school or at home.
Perkins School physical education teacher Sue Moak is no exception.
After the shutdown in March, she started teaching students remotely using Seesaw software and worked to provide fun and interesting videos, some starring herself, to keep her students healthy and fit.
Moak’s duties have changed since school reopened in September, but her determination to keep at-home learners engaged has not. In fact, her efforts have doubled.
Along with teaching PE classes to first graders at Perkins each morning, she’s tasked with providing PE to the 114 remote learners at Perkins and Lincoln schools. Chris Hager and Stephen Todaro are providing the in-person PE instruction at Perkins and Lincoln, respectively.
