Palo Alto High School nurse Jennifer Kleckner waits for students to check into the health office during lunch on Jan. 20. With the return of students to campus, cases have severely increased due to the rapidly spreading Omicron variant. According to Kleckner, keeping schools open has been the primary goal for this year. My only big worry is when I see people indoors not keeping their masks over their noses or when there are large gaps, Kleckner said. (Photo: Leena Hussein)

Shifting locations during COVID-19, the Palo Alto High School Wellness Center has quickly adapted to new spaces — both physical and virtual. Wellness Outreach Officer Whitney Aquino said that although the Wellness Center staff is unable to check on students in the same way they normally would, they are offering resources to ensure that students feel supported. [Previously] theyre taking a break in class and then you can say, Do you want to talk to someone? and they might end up opening up ... versus when were online, folks can just take a break in their own homes, she said. Weve seen perhaps fewer people dropping in, but weve also seen more people who are able to access resources by coming in on their own or filling out the form. Photo: Andy Robinson
