WASHTUCNA — Public school students in this small farm town will return to the classroom Aug. 31.

Parents will have a choice to make -- three or four days of on-campus instruction while wearing masks, officials said.

Parents not wanting their children in masks may also choose to have them study from home, officials said.

Homeschooling is also an option, Washington Homeschool Organization spokeswoman Jen Garrison said.
