(Leah Hogsten | The Salt Lake Tribune) Parents walk their Escalante Elementary students back to class in Salt Lake City head back to class, January, 25, 2021. Salt Lake City School District reopened all of the district's elementary schools to in-person learning on Monday. It is the first time students in kindergarten through sixth grade are back in the classroom for a full day of school since they first closed for the pandemic in March 2020.
To all the parents and community members who have supported teachers and administrators over the past year, thank you. Whether remote or in-person, public or private, knowing someone has your back makes our job a bit easier as we strive to effectively teach the students with whom you have entrusted us.
