Odalize Rivera said her 8-year-old daughter is thrilled to be going back to school “At first I was a little worried, but I realized it’s better for her educationwise going in. There’s a lot more distractions at home than there is in school,” Odalize Rivera said. Pathrice Adair said her son has been learning remotely since October and was excited to return to the classroom. “It’s challenging because I work at night so when I leave work I have to come home in the morning to homeschool with him,” Adair said. Bringing her son back into the building wasn’t an easy decision, but she said she feels better about it now.
