Students return to school after snow days
The snow days are over for most kids in North Texas. They went back to school for the first time after four days off because of the winter weather.
Most North Texas school districts opted to reopen on Friday, including Dallas, Frisco, and Rockwall ISDs.
Transportation was still somewhat of a concern, with early morning temperatures below freezing. And there are still slick spots in neighborhoods.
However, most of the ice has thawed on major roadways. School districts also worked diligently on Thursday to make sure buildings and sidewalks were ready for students and staff.
The school districts that opted to remain closed on Friday are mostly in the north and northeastern areas of the metroplex, such as Celina, Denison, Denton, Farmersville, Gainesville, Krum, Little Elm, Northwest, Ponder and Sherman ISDs.
