DALLAS (WBAP/KLIF NEWS)- Dallas ISD students might be heading to the classroom sooner than planned.
The district initially decided to wait until October 5th to start on-campus classes. But the recently decreasing COVID-19 numbers has caused the district to consider starting in person classes earlier. The district is now inciting students who will attend classes for the first time a new building to return on Monday September 28th. Students who are simply just moving to the next grade in the same building will have to wait until October 5th.
School Leadership Chief Jolee Healey says giving some students a one week jump-star will help them acclimate to new surrounding and develop relationships with teacher and peers.
“The current health environment has made the start of school an unusual experience for all students,” said Healey. “Add to that the stress of navigating a new building, and it’s not a stretch to realize that students may need a period of adjustment to get acclimated. That’s the idea behind the one-week early return for these students.”
