Class is back in session for area schools.

Northeastern Junior College welcomed new students to campus today. The students and their families spent the day getting their belongings moved into the residence halls, learning about area businesses and organizations as well as clubs on campus at a Community Club Fair and enjoying a Back-to-School BBQ dinner.

Returning students will arrive on campus Friday and the first day of classes is Monday.

RE-1 Valley School District students are also back in school. Wednesday was the first day of classes for sixth through 12th grade, and elementary students will start school Friday after two days of literacy testing.
