Solana Beach sixth graders return to school four days a week Solana Ranch sixth graders returned to four days a week school on Feb. 8. (Courtesy) Print Solana Beach School District celebrated another first day of school as all sixth graders were welcomed back to four days a week in-person instruction on Feb. 8, moving out of a hybrid model that had students online two days a week. Since the fall, district parents have been pushing for more in-school days as online learning has been a struggle mentally, emotionally and academically for many students. To bring back the larger 4-6 grade classes in the district, some classrooms have been extended into secondary learning spaces in order to accommodate all students while maintaining distancing and stable groupings per California Department of Public Health guidelines.
