It was the first day of school for thousands of students in the valley. But some students dont actually go to class in the school building. Thats because schools are using portable classrooms because there are just too many students to fit inside the building. Fox 5s eric hilt explains how some schools are playing catch up because of the overcrowding issue. The first day of school isnt just nervewracking for kids. Nats it is for teachers, too. Last night i had a really hard time sleeping because i was nervous bu excited this is nicole gladishs third William V WrightElementary School. Nats classroom and all three of those years shes taught outside of the school building. In a portable classroom like this one. The schools shortterm solution to a longterm problem with overcrowding. One of the hardest parts of being in the portable is not having access to all the technoloogy inside, you have to walk in there but if youre in one of the pods you can easily send out kids to do vmath whereas here we dont have that opportunity nicoles classroom is one of 28 portable classrooms at wright elementary. It even has a portable cafeteria and portable bathrooms. The school was built to hold 750 students. This year theres nearly 13 hundred. Its over twice as many as what should be in this school but ccsd says a solution is in sight for teachers at one of the districts most overcrowded school. A New Elementary School is planned to be built just three miles away reducing the wright. A school will open up just to the southwest of here that wil help us in 2019, so we are trying to catch up now a game of catch up that the district says will take several years. The School District spokesperson told fox5 their goal is to get rid of portables at every Elementary School. There are portables at middle and high schools as well bu says it does not think it will be able to get rid of those any time soon. Police say a lot of tickets were written out to parents during the back to School Morning rush. Some new school zone rules include no uturns and no passing other cars in any lane. Also. If youre going to park to walk your kid inside you have to be in a legal parking spot and not in the middle of the road. Parents should also tell their kids about their role in being safe by making eye contact with drivers and not darting out into the street. Parent that you have a conversation with your child and really the age doesnt matter. Sit down and have a conversation with your child about crossing the mid block, about crossing between parked cars on the side of the roadway. Another new rule is to stop completely at a crosswalk and not go until the child is fully on the sidewalk. The red carpet was rolled out at matt kelly Elementary School and students got the celebrity treatment. Mentorship is effective.

The idea is for the kids to have more positive male role models in their lives. All the guys pledged to come back at least one more time during the next school year.
