Approximately 3,300 students started school Monday at five of the district’s six schools — Green Bay Early Childhood Center starts class after Labor Day — as some said the atmosphere was nearly pre-pandemic.
Forrestal Elementary School Principal Cara Kranz hugs a student on the first day of class in North Chicago School District 187.
“I’m not sure what to expect with my classes,” Sorto said. “A lot of my classes are advanced. I’m taking third-year math, and I’ll be with older students.”U.S. Marine Staff Sgt. Christian Songer said he was bringing his child to school for her first day of kindergarten. They were both smiling as he walked her in the door and said goodbye.
Keith Turner, the high school’s assistant principal, said the start of school Monday was getting much closer to the first day of class in 2019 when the words COVID-19 and pandemic had not become part of the worldwide vocabulary. District 187 Superintendent John Price also said the first day of school felt close to the way it was in 2019. The focus was on teachers and staff demonstrating their exuberance about school and transferring it to the students.
Hilda Romero, the mother of both a first and second grader at Forrestal, said she is excited to have both of her children in the school this year. She feels students continuing to wear masks is a good idea.

Army program gives poor-performing recruits a second chanceChaz Andrews has wanted to join the Army since he was 19, but he has failed the service's academic test more than 10 times over the past decade. Now, at age 29, Andrews thinks he has a real shot to pass, thanks to a new Army program that gives lower-performing recruits up to 90 days of academic or fitness instruction to help them meet military standards. “I didn’t want to give up on it,” he said during a recent break in his classroom schedule at Fort Jackson, where he is one of more than 300 recruits who have been allowed to enlist in the new Army prep course.
