That includes Hon. Luis Muñoz Marín Elementary in North Philadelphia. They are ready and learning in classrooms right now. They are attentive, they are navigating the virtual space with other partners that are still at home on Zoom, said Principal Amanda Jones.
Teacher Mandie White is excited to see her returning students. I told my husband, I m so glad to be able to talk to someone besides you! she joked.
The School District of Philadelphia gave Action News a behind-the-scenes look at the new safety measures in place at one elementary school as some students return to in-person learning next week.
