(TNS) — As Zillah High School students entered the front campus doors to have their temperatures checked before heading to class Monday morning, school staff greeted them by name and offered encouragement to students who had recently improved their grades.
After just nine days of returning to campus for part-time in-person learning, failing grades among students had dropped by 14 percent, according to data from the high school.
