As a new school year approaches, a number of back-to-school kickoff events were held in North Texas this weekend to help educators and families return to classrooms.
Temia Collins was one of at least 1,000 families at the Ellis David Field House in Dallas on Saturday to register her daughter for the next school year.
“I’m super excited because she’s excited,” Collins said. “I had my cry last year, so this year I’m like…whatever she is ready for, I’m ready for.” Saturday’s event was the third annual registration kick-off held by Dallas ISD. The event was for both new and returning students. Last year, the district helped about 2,000 families sign their children up for school, according to Yesenia Cardoza Ramirez.“All of our registration is online so if families don’t have technology or wifi, that’s why we’re here. If families have other questions, that’s why we’re here too,” she said.
According to the DFW Hospital Council, cOVID-19 hospitalizations in North Texas more than doubled in the last month. It mirrors case trends nationally as the back-to-school season returns, said council president Stephen Love.
