INDIANAPOLIS — Tuesday is the second day of the school year for Indianapolis Public School students.
WRTV spoke to a family who says things are going smoothly for them so far.
Tamera Rogers set up a learning station in the rooms of her three boys. They each have a new desk.
Tamera and her seventh-grader Xavier tell WRTV they're making the best of the situation.
"I think it is going well," Tamera said. "There was anxiety last night," she said laughing, "we did a test run with each of the boys there was no sigh of relief until we saw and heard the teacher. And we knew things were a go."
"So far, its been good," Xavier told WRTV. "My favorite part is lunch because in lunch, instead of having school food - and that's a gamble - you get to eat what your parent's supply, which is great food."
