This is getting heated. Board members Hagerty and Martin going back and forth and chair Sutton has to cut them off. Hagerty accusing Martin of “using scare tactics” #abc11#nced Josh Chapin (@JoshChapinABC11) March 9, 2021
Fourth and fifth graders returning now follow Pre-K through third grade students along with those in special education programs.
motion to bring 4th and 5th grade students back full time passes 8-1. Only @JMartin4Schools voted against the motion. Means those students will come back in Plan A starting next Monday #abc11#nced Josh Chapin (@JoshChapinABC11) March 10, 2021
WAKE COUNTY, N.C. (WTVD) Some Wake County Public School System students will return to the classroom for the first time in a year.
Students on the traditional calendar start back Wednesday with all kindergarten through 3rd grade students in class and 4th-12th grade students on an hybrid rotation. Year-round calendar students returned to class Monday. I m very excited to go back to school and get back with all the teachers and be in the classroom again and be able to be with students, said Enloe Magnet High School junior Jayden Morrison.
Morrison, along with all his classmates, underwent a COVID-19 screening and temperature check before entering the school building.
She is looking forward to a slight return to normalcy and getting a break from the kitchen. I won t be cooking all day long, Tran said. I am spending a lot of time and money, feeding three hungry, growing kids.
Her children are heading back to three different Wake County schools on March 1. It ll be the morning crush, getting people fed, getting lunches packed. It ll be an interesting adjustment, Tran said.
Daughter Liliane is embarking on her high school career at Enloe. I m kind of nervous because I don t know how it s gonna go and how it s gonna be switching from virtual to in-person and then back again every couple of weeks, said Liliane DeMarco.
