What s life like at Napa elementary schools these days? Take a look inside Browns Valley Elementary. Samie Hartley
Almost one year after COVID-19 temporarily emptied its campus of students, life at Browns Valley Elementary School in Napa has returned to ânormalâ â or at least a new normal.
Students are back on campus. Teachers have returned to their classrooms. Parents are once again picking up and dropping off in mornings and afternoons.
However, much of that routine now looks and works completely different than it did at the beginning of 2020.
The students are getting instruction five days a week. However, they attend classes in person only twice a week, for just two hours and 20 minutes a time. (On Wednesday, the NVUSD announced that it will offer four half-days a week of in-person instruction starting March 1.)
