Katie Fierros gives her daughter Zoe a kiss as she sends her off to her first day of kindergarten at Gwendolyn Brooks Elementary School in DeKalb Monday. Students in kindergarten through second grade returned for in-person learning Monday for the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic forced schools to close their doors. Students in other grade levels in District 428 will be returning to school on a sliding schedule while some families are still choosing to take classes remotely.
