Carson City schools welcome students back to new, different year

Carson City mother Tonya Reyes dropped off her son, Elijah, 11, Tuesday for his first day physically back on campus in the sixth grade at Eagle Valley Middle School, taking his picture and reassuring him he would be fine. “I feel okay,” she said afterward. “It’s certainly different. He was fine but then he was scared. He got scared and nervous. ‘I don’t know if I want to go,’ he said. But I feel fine.”
