Waay 31's rodneya ross is diving deeper into telemedicine within huntsville hospital.

But first we'll start with waay 31's sierra phillips.

Just a few minutes ago we talked to the superintendent of athens city schools.

Sierra -- how did the first day of online learning go for his district?

Superintendent trey holliday told us they're facing some challenges but overall the school system is working to stay positive this week.

Take a look at how students, teachers and their families are staying positive by making videos like you're looking at right now.

Holliday said its important to make sure they're able to communicate as well as possible.

The limestone district is using a software program called "seesaw" for their elementary classes.

That platform, google classroom and zoom for older kids.

There are less than 50 kids right now who are having issues connecting, but they are working to make sure those kids get connected.

He added a huge focus now goes outside of learning and into making sure students have meals they need.

The district will have drive-thru pickup meals mondays and thursdays at athens elementary school from 10:00 am- 12:00 pm.
