Anaheim’s Sunkist Elementary School welcomed students back to classrooms on Monday, April 12, for the first time in more than a year, as part of a district-wide shift to hybrid learning.
Anaheim Elementary School District’s roughly 16,000 students have had online-only classes since last spring due to the pandemic. But Orange County’s COVID-19 metrics are improving and state restrictions are loosening, and district officials said a survey of families showed most wanted kids to return to campus.

Many OC districts have already returned to at least some in-person classes, and several – including Newport Mesa Unified, Placentia-Yorba Linda Unified and Ocean View – are now shifting from hybrid instruction to full-time learning in the classroom.
At Anaheim Elementary’s 24 campuses, classes are split in half, with each half getting two days a week in the classroom and the rest of their instruction online. Classrooms now have clear dividers at all desks, which are spaced six feet apart, and buildings’ air filtration has been upgraded.
To try to meet a range of needs, the district is bringing special education students back full-time for the extra hands-on instruction they’re used to, and the newly created Anaheim Elementary Online Academy will remain available for any families that prefer learning remotely.
