It’s back to class for Navarro ISD
The Voice of Seguin Today
Students make the official return to learning
By Cindy Aguirre-Herrera (Geronimo) -- Welcome back Panthers! Today marks the first day of school for students in the Navarro ISD. District officials say today marks the start of a
nontraditional school year for students who will be engaged both in the classroom or at home. Superintendent Wendi Russell says despite launching the school year amid a pandemic, the Navarro ISD is still very excited
about returning to learning. She says yes, there are going to be anxieties and there will be bumps along the way but believes that together, the district will stand as one.
“Don’t get me wrong, we are all worried. We are all scared about what this is going to look like and how to do it because it’s new for everyone. As I addressed our staff, I told them that this was going to be their hardest year if they were brand new if not as hard if they had at least a year under the belt because they know what it traditionally should look like and I t’s not a traditional year. There’s nothing traditional about this and we are all still working through what it should look like. So, the first couple of weeks are going to bumpy and we want parents to understand that it’s going to be a bumpy ride at first. Technology wise, you can never depend on technology 100 percent. I told

the staff to expect the unexpected and to be able to be flexible and go with it as we move forward. So, we are just excited to be able to see our students whether it’s remote through a computer or face to face. We are excited to get school started again,” said Russell. See BACK TO SCHOOL, page 2
