Most students at Ripon Unified have been back in the classroom since the return of in-person instruction.

Some have stayed with the distance-learning education option.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, RUSD has provided virtual elementary classes for kindergarten- through- eighth- grade students.

Since the return from the holiday break, 103 youngsters were enrolled in virtual elementary, according to the Sixth Month report from the recent school board meeting.

That was the period from Jan. 11 through Feb. 5.

RUSD had a total enrollment of 3,075 during that stretch. The district reported 3,339 students in the Sixth Month of the 2019-2020 school year, pre-COVID.
