It sounds like DS2 went to the corner with the crosswalk and looked for cars before crossing the street, which makes me happy. (If he did not, at least he knows that this was the right answer for where/how did you cross the street).
In a normal year we would very likely be letting DS2 walk to/from school by himself. This year the kids have so much to carry with their laptops and class materials - they are bringing everything back and forth just in case school goes remote due to a positive covid case or winter weather. If I take him, while walking the dog, I will help him with his stuff and get him across the street safely then let him go the last bit on his own. DH can do drop off without a mask because it doesn't require hanging out on school property. (I generally don't wear a mask for drop off either, there isn't really any need to). For pick up, we need to wait around for his teacher to release the kids and bring them to the exit door so masks are required.
