PORTLAND, Ore. On Thursday many of the youngest Portland Public Schools students headed back to the classroom for their first day of hybrid, in-person learning.
“This is kindergarten. This is the first year so we don’t have anything to compare it to; so it’s interesting and exciting for him,” said a mom named Christy who was dropping her son Vaughn off at Scott Elementary.
“They need to get out and get back in the swing of things and, you know, hang out with friends because they’re getting antisocial,” said another mom, Jena, who was also dropping off a child.
