Paly Assistant Principal Jerry Berkson observes students eating during lunch break to ensure that those on campus follow safety protocols. Berkson said students have a broad range of emotional responses to the pandemic, and he says he hopes that reopening and socialization will help address the mental health needs of all students. “I think different people are affected in different ways [with] their mental health through this whole thing [pandemic],” Berkson said. “I have two kids, and I would say they weren't affected at all.” [[is there a better quote you can use here? maybe something that actually has to do w/campus and what the picture is about]] [[also if the picture was originally higher res, you should crop in more i think]] Photo: Daniel Garepis-Holland.

Athletic Director and Varsity Football Coach Nelson Gifford congratulates the Palo Alto High School varsity football team for a victory during the 2019 season at Viking Stadium. Over the summer, some Palo Alto Unified School District campuses reopened for socially distanced summer conditioning and several athletic teams at Paly held practices for five weeks before the Santa Clara County prohibited athletics activities. As athletics and the county start to reopen again, Gifford said he believes that contact sports will be able to play if in-person instruction begins.

Athletic conditioning scheduled to return mid-September
