Pugh gives positive report on students learning in-person

COLFAX — The return of high school students to classrooms looks positive, Superintendent Jerry Pugh told the school board Monday night.

He gave a report following the first week of all students being in the buildings every day since last March.

Junior-senior high school students began five days per week in-person learning Feb. 1, joining Jennings Elementary students who have been in-person since September.

Pugh noted last week there was some reiteration of the rules but he was “very impressed” when he watched the proceedings at lunch.

“I really want to compliment the junior-senior high staff for their work last week,” he said.

Band classes were moved to the auxiliary gym and the choir moved to the high school band room earlier.

“It’s really nice to hear music again at school,” he said.
