After nearly 11 months away from the physical classroom, a portion of Verona Area School District students in grades 6-12 returned for in-person instruction on Tuesday, Feb. 9.
Only around a third of students are returning to the physical buildings each day, with the in-person students split into cohorts that have them learning in-person half of the week, and virtual the other half. Approximately 30% of students opted to stay fully virtual throughout second semester.
