Several school districts around the Baton Rouge metro area will open its doors for students next week.

When public schools open Monday in Ascension Parish, the middle school and high school students will be learning both in the classroom and from home.

On any given day, some students will come to school, while others attend class online then the two groups will switch on the next day, in an alternating pattern throughout the school week.

Elementary school students will attend school daily starting Aug. 15, after a staggered attendance in school buildings the first week, when each student will attend one of four days.

About 27 percent of the district's total student population of about 23,400 has opted for online learning only.

Secondary school students' first day of school will be either Monday or Tuesday to allow for a soft opening on each of those days. They will be half days for students.

When not on campus, middle and high school students will be learning online.

The first day all on campus students will attend together is Wednesday.

While some students returned to the classroom last week, many others will start the 2020-21 school year next week.
