ESCALON – Temperatures that topped 100 degrees on Monday probably had students wishing they were taking a dip in the pool instead of plunging into a new school year, but classes resumed as scheduled for the Escalon Unified School District on Aug. 19.
District Superintendent Ron Costa said reports from the various campuses on opening day indicated “smooth sailing” in most regards, with few hitches in getting students in to class and ready to learn.
“Ready or not, here we go,” Costa said with a smile, adding that students and staff were “definitely ready” for opening day.
