Some Newtown students have returned to the classroom.  The district started with a hybrid model, having about half the student population in buildings yesterday and the other half learning online.  The other half of students will be in classrooms today.  Families were given the option of starting the year with all distance learning.  About 15-percent of the student population is learning at home 5 days a week.  Newtown plans to move to full in person learning for younger students next month, and all students in November.
