This is what the days leading up to the first day of school feel like here in NYC - uncertain, wondering how solid the ground is you're standing on and just waiting for the next wave to upend any plans you've attempted to make for the fall.

Will there be a strike? Will there definitely be hybrid school and 100% remote learning? Will there ever be a school calendar released? Will the first day of school tentatively scheduled for September 10th be confirmed?

So many questions and so few answers as the countdown continues. To all those trying to make all the magic happen, we see you, we thank you and we hope to one day be able to hug you again. Here's hoping.
