Today is the first ever day of school for many kids and parents across the state.
Sioux City Associate Superintendent Angela Bemus is visiting schools on the first day, including a stop at the Irving Elementary kindergarten playground. “The kids are all lined up and there’s a lot of parents out there with tears, just like kids,” she says.
Bemus says it doesn’t take long for the kids to adjust. “I will tell you after like a couple of days, they catch on right away, like they’ve been here forever,” Bemus says.
Bemus says there’s also a lot of parents taking pictures for memories that will be “unforgettable.”
