Students in San Diego districts return to in-person schooling

Thousands of students across several school districts in San Diego are heading back to in-person schooling this week after more than a year of distance learning. That includes students in the Chula Vista Elementary, San Ysidro Elementary, Sweetwater Union High, Lemon Grove Elementary and San Diego Unified districts, according to the San Diego Union-Tribune.

In San Diego Unified, the second-largest school district in California, about half of the district’s 97,000 students are expected to return, district officials told the Union-Tribune.

Each district is opening in a hybrid learning mode, meaning students return to school part-time and remain in distance learning for the rest of the week. The specific details vary from district to district and sometimes even vary within districts. For example, at San Diego Unified, most schools are reopening for four days of in-person teaching weekly, but some have only opened for two days a week, according to the Union-Tribune.

“We cannot be more proud and happy to be where we are today and to know recovery begins now,” Cindy Marten, superintendent of that district, told the newspaper.
