“It’s finally time,” said Xander.
Well, almost time. As a fourth grader, Xander gets to head back to class on January 14th in the Central Valley School District.
Kindergarten through third grades were phased in before winter break.
“I was praying before the school year started but my mom told me they’re probably going to do online and then I’m like ‘aw, come on,’” said Xander.
While fourth graders make their return in mid-January, fifth graders will actually have to wait a little longer. Sixth graders are scheduled to return on January 14th, as well, pending the Spokane Regional Health District’s approval.
