\"Children absolutely need to return to in-school learning for their healthy development and well-being, and so safety in schools and in the community must be a priority,\" said Dr. Lee Beers, a fellow and president of the AAP. \"We know that some children are really suffering without the support of in-person classroom experiences or adequate technology at home. We need governments at the state and federal levels to prioritize funding the needed safety accommodations, such as improving ventilation systems and providing personal protective equipment for teachers and staff.\"

Once she gets the letter grades she will be a straight-A student and is mastering her quizzes and get them almost 100%, Zanotto said.
Despite some challenges adapting to online learning, Clara has done well in school over the last year, Zanotto said and that she suspects Clara's grades will be high.
\"She was able to do a lot by herself,\" Zanotto added. \"We count on how she really loves school. That helps a lot.\"

Zanotto said the Twitter account Reopen California Schools, as well as several news sites shared the video of Clara's reaction to learning she was returning to school.
\"It's spreading the love and it was so cheerful to see the school alive last week,\" Zanotto said. \"The sound of the little backpacks rolling and he kids giggling -- that's everything.\"
Zanotto said Clara's now in a hybrid learning model and is thrilled to be back.
