Capistrano Unified’s high school students — clad in masks and practicing safe distancing — returned to campus for much-awaited in-person learning on Tuesday, Oct. 13, 2020 for the first time this school year.
The high school students are the latest to join teachers and school staff on campus as the final phase of the district’s staggered return to schools for its 47,000 students. In-person, on-campus learning is subject to the county’s tier in the state reopening criteria. Families are able to switch to a 100 percent online option at any time.
