The first day of in-person learning was filled with excitement even before students stepped into the building at One World Middle School in the Bronx.

They were given words of encouragement at the front door by Mayor Bill de Blasio and Schools Chancellor Richard Caranzza.

One by one students were cheered on as they arrived for their first day of in-person learning.

The mayor and chancellor greeted middle school students with fist bumps and elbow touches.

Students then got their temperature checked and were then escorted by a staff member to their assigned classroom.

As much as there was plenty of excitement in the air there was also some nervous jitters from concerned parents.

The middle school is celebrating 10 years as a learning institution. Parents tell News 12 they feel confident that the school has put in the proper safety measures to keep students safe.
