All EGUSD Schools are back in session!
On Monday, August 17, Elk Grove Unified students attending schools on traditional schedules headed back to school for the 2009/2010 year. The first day of school began with bright faces, smiles and waves of hello as students found their new class assignments.
The following are a few visual highlights from the first day back for Elk Grove Unified elementary, middle, high and alternative schools:
