The sentiment of the Ulatis Elementary School student was probably shared by quite a few of the some 20,000 area students who sharpened their No. 2 pencils, strapped on their backpacks, and ventured into new classrooms to start the 2001 school year. And by all accounts, schools in the Vacaville and Travis unified school districts operated like clockwork, or pretty close. It has been busy but good.
Kids are in their classes learning and teachers are teaching.
River Delta Unified School District, which includes Rio Vista schools, opened Wednesday. Dixon Unified School District will open Thursday, and Fairfield and Suisun schools will open Sept. 4. By midday, no fights or traffic problems had been reported. In fact, Mills said, the biggest problem Monday seemed to be kids finding their way around to their new classrooms. Mills warned the school will strictly enforce the dress code will be this year.
