The teachers will spend Monday and Tuesday getting everything prepared for students to return to school on Wednesday. Administrators held an optional “back to school” session on Sunday to assist students and parents. Several students who attended said that the orientation helped them cope as they prepare to return to school, according to NBC.
In the meantime, numerous photos of the rainbow that shined down on the school continue to surface across social media.
