All right. We have been talking about our kids returning to school after the summer and with excitement comes a bit of stress to start School Health experts recommend the big tip for parents is to have an open ear and listen. Cash usually talk about school to help them comfortably open up about how they feel. Follow your instinct if your child seems to act unlike their normal selves and always keep the communication open. Another tip is to plan a shopping trip to get all the back to School Necessities ahead of time. Sometimes a shopping trip alone can create excitement for the new school year. New books, pens, backpacks. Folders. I used to love that myself. Another tip highlighted by stress. Org is to schedule your kids meeting. Sometimes its a good thing to break them out of a routine. If it allows them to relax and play outside or just go outside and be spontaneous. Just dont have anything scheduled. Welcome to the nine garcias back. Yeah welcome back. I missed you guys.

Ctvs Bailey Ocarroll live in the city here with how the community really is coming together on this first day to kick off a whole new school year. Bailey garcia, good morning. Its students have gone inside their classrooms at this point this morning. Its just past 9 a. M. So we did watch them get here. They were very excited. One little girl picking out her outfit. Her parents told us she wanted to have a crazy outfit, but they were excited to get back into the classroom here today. But of course, we cannot mention the first day of School Without mentioning what many parents and people all across the bay area are talking about in regards to schools starting up this fall, which is the Teacher Shortage and how thats affecting students, parents, but also where we stand here in San Francisco. Just with how big that shortage is. I do want to bring in cassandra teachers unin here in San Francisco. Cassandra how many teachers are we missing in San Francisco right now . At last check, there was 174 job openings. Still vacant, still hired for. Thats just for certificated. The teachers and classrooms. We also have an additional 170 or more of para educators. Those are classroom aides who work directly with students. What needs to be done to fill those vacancies, in your opinion . Theres multiple things that need to be happening, but the very first one is a raise, right . Were in a contract negotiation. We tried to force a deal to come together in may before the school year would have ended. That would help people decide to stay. And those that were looking to enter into the career or enter the district could be incentivized to come in. And then another one is really around whether or not this career is optional for folks that. Apologize for losing bailey carrolls report here as she is in San Francisco, students are heading back to class for the first day. Theyre across the bay in the east bay.

Lets get out the door here. A lot of sunshine greeting us this morning. Its a nice thing to see. Steve paulson. It is. I think after today, well start seeing more clouds rolling in low and high clouds. Were caught in between the low to the west, which was off Southern California yesterday. Its lifted northward. Its not going anywhere. In fact, if anything, i think its going to move in a little closer starting tomorrow as temps will begin to cool and drag in a lot of cloud cover on on friday, maybe some scattered showers. Still moisture streaming northward from Southern California. Southern arizona and nevada going right along the spine of the sierra into tahoe, truckee, northeast california. Shasta las and also up towards northeast northwest california as well. We have some low clouds. Most of its about gone, but theres a little bit more today than we saw yesterday. And i think its a sign of things to come. Today, though, you can see caught there in between. So everything looks good today, sunny. It could be a few high clouds, but i think overall, todays sunny, thats a pretty good activity. Yesterday it favored more south shore and also towards interstate 80. More so than 50 north. But it could easily change today. So if youre going up there, keep that in mind. Upper 90s to near 100 for a few inland today. After today, though, i think well start to ease up on on some of these warmer temps coast and bay should drop a couple of degrees today just by the mere fact that we had a little bit more of a breeze, a little bit more fog today. But so todays nice today tomorrow should be pretty good by friday though i think well cloud it up. A weekend will be kind of coming of some fog and sunny and cooler temps. What is now Tropical Storm hillary. This will be where all the focus, all the attention and all the projections between now and monday are going to be here as it moves up the coast up of baja and moves in somewhere around san diego. Most projections taken in the Southern California, the high desert, then in between tahoe and las vegas, somewhere around there, it could easily come over us as well. But these projections are all changing rapidly depending on what forecast projections you look at. If we do, if we do get the moisture, we could have some serious august rain for us or in tahoe. I mean, that would be a lot of rain for us in august. As you know, ive seen some areas in tahoe with over two and one half inches forecast. So its just a matter of sorting out the details. Its just too far away to be to give a forecast. Its more of just an outlook or a hey, look at this is really what it is. Sunny today, breezy, warm to hot inland. One more day. Temps cool down upper 90s for a few 60s 70s closer to the coast. And tomorrow well cool it off. Clouded up on friday. Your weekend looks good. Monday, tuesday could be dealing with a lot of tropical clouds. Thank you, steve.
