Seventh-graders Maddie Murtha, Kate Underwood, Macie Vogel and Lucy Collins stood outside Cunha Intermediate School on Monday, fresh off their first day back at school after more than a year of learning online. Although masked, the smiles on their faces were evident.
One week into hybrid learning, Cabrillo Unified School District students are adjusting to a new normal of learning on campuses, surrounded by their peers, and with in-person access to their teachers again. For the four Cunha students, it was like a breath of fresh air.

Cabrillo Unified School District students are set to come back as early as the first week of April after learning remotely for more than a year.
At a special meeting on Monday night, Cabrillo Unified School District board members unanimously approved an amended elementary reopening plan, designating April 5 as the first day back for transitional kindergarten, kindergarten and first-grade students.
The decision came on the heels of a lengthy discussion at the boardâs regularly scheduled meeting last Thursday night. The board declined to formally approve the plan until Monday night to allow for adequate board consideration and public input.
