(ABC 6 News) - Rochester Public Schools middle and high school students are back in the classroom as of Monday for the first time in a year.
The excitement was just like the first day of school in the fall at Kellogg Middle School. It was finally good to be not online for school. It felt great, a sixth-grader at Kellog Middle School said.
After a long, virtual year, they are beginning the first day of the fourth quarter in person. I m excited. I think there are some nerves that go with it just not sure. It s all new and different, so we re ready for the day but we re definitely ready for curve balls along the way too, Kellogg Middle School principal, Angela McAndrews, said.
