school year?

Luckily we live in a city school system so there are only 3 schools to worry about. School seems to be starting awfully early this year on August 12th. They have not released many details yet other than there will be traditional or online school options. What do y'all plan on doing this upcoming school year?

Both my kids have told me they want the online option, which will work fine for our family. They know that I work from home and am a type 1 diabetic so it makes sense for us.

What I worry about is interaction with other children, them missing out on their gifted classes. My daughter is going into 6th grade and wants to join the band but is not willing to go now. My son is in 8th grade and will still run cross country and has been working out with the varsity baseball team all summer and it is a year round program for our school. So he will still be around his friends, my daughter not so much. They will both do well grade wise but I worry about the emotional health and friendships. It is going to be a tough decision for so many families.
