We start with the huntsville cyber attack.

Waay 31's sophia borrelli spoke with district leaders today.

She explains what the return to learning will look like.

She also checked back in with a "cyber security expert" about the most important thing parents should be doing right now.

Sophia looklive: "a very busy friday for teachers a huntsville city schools as they prepare for classes on monday."

Vo: traditional and virtual students will be learning with minimal technology next week as they head back to the classroom.

Friday district leaders visited schools to make sure teachers had the materials they need such as paper and printers to make assignment packets for students.

Even though students will be headed back to the class - a cyber security expert i spoke with says it's still very important to stay off those district issued devices.

Sot: david jarmon, vice president of cybersecurity for gray analytics: "all the advice that i know that i have seen from huntsville city schools is very consistent with how you handle an attack like this.

So again, staying off those computers, staying out of the applications, basically staying away from the school's network until you are given the green light to go back in.

That's the best thing anyone can do right now to help them resolve the issue."

Sophia looklive: "the school district did not give any further updates as to the investigation.

In huntsville - sophia borrelli waay 31 news.

Huntsville city leaders say they are ready to step in on the investigation if needed.

For now, they say the school board has things under control.
