This week, more than 44,500 Hamilton County students return to the classroom.
Students and families can expect to see the school system maintain its focus on academic achievement and personalization, with students belonging and feeling accepted in their school continuing to be a big point of emphasis for the district.
“We want every student to have a good experience this school year,” district spokesperson Steve Doremus said in an interview. “That’s not the end all, be all. We still want to see academic achievement and all those other things, but we want everyone to have a good experience. That starts with … across the district having a good experience for all of our employees, our students and our students’ families to make sure that there are as few bumps in the road as we can have.”
