Monday marked the first day of school in the nation’s largest school district, where hundreds of thousands of students haven’t taken in-person classes since March 2020. Here's how it went for a seventh-grader attending her new school.
Bronx, N.Y.—Seventh-grader Sara Palau hadn’t taken classes in a school building in a year and half because her parents were among the many who feared the spread of Covid-19. On Monday, the 12-year-old was dressed for the first day of classes by 6 a.m., and said she was nervous.
Sara was new to the school, having only met her classmates last year on Zoom. And then there were the throngs of people she would have to come into contact with on the hour-plus train and bus commute from her home in the Bronx to P.S. 184M Shuang Wen School in lower Manhattan.
