Jitters, cheers for first day of school in continuing shadow of COVID
Students across Minnesota packed their backpacks and headed into classrooms Tuesday morning, kicking off a third school year altered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Many students were wearing masks because of school district-imposed mandates, particularly in metro-area schools. Some entered classrooms where desks are still spaced to allow for extra distance, and some aren't in classrooms at all - opting instead for one of a growing number of online learning programs offered across the state.
But unlike last fall, the majority of students heading back for the 2021-22 academic year will be in person, getting face-to-face greetings from teachers and principals hoping for a less chaotic school year.
