MELBOURNE, Fla. — Brevard County Schools Superintendent Dr. Mark Mullins said about 70% of the student body has returned to the physical classroom on the first day of schools.
The other 30% of students are learning virtually at home.
“As a parent I know where they are coming from,” said Longleaf Elementary School Principal, Jason Sherburne. “I think that is great for me, because I can get that perspective by asking my own kids questions.”
He also said he truly understands the teacher side of this too.
“My wife is also a teacher, so I get to bounce ideas off her,” Sherburne said.
While things certainly looked and felt different, families have made the most of this first day of face-to-face learning.
Some even took pictures to remember this new time in their lives.
We know there are still questions about Re-Opening and we are here to address as many as possible. Please post your questions as a comment here.

Mullins wants families to embrace this change.
“I would reassure our families that we are not done,” Mullins said. “We will continue to reevaluate the measures that were put in place as well as any other measures that we may need to consider as we move forward.”
Every student taking the bus will have to wear masks and use hand sanitizer the moment they step on and off the bus.
Students will also have to have their face covered in school if they are in grades 3 through 12. The same rule applies if they are moving throughout the hallways.
