"I have to tell you both students and staff seemed super elated this morning. They were very excited to see each other. I think a lot of energy in the building. Tons of energy, tons of excitement and tons of smiles," Ruhe said. Because of the COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic, the district began the school year with a hybrid curriculum schedule for the families who had selected it. Participating students rotated between classes in school buildings and remote learning at home. Families also could select an all-remote learning plan.
