She looked into how the attack is impacting students education.

Bridget?

Dan, najahe -- the prinicpal at challenger middle school said a lot of students have come to pick up their packets today.

But if students aren't able to come and get them he said he and his assistant principal would be bringing them to student's homes.

He says it's important for students to have the material.

So they can keep learning at home.

And he said that learning wihout a computer can actually benefit students by giving them a challenge.

"you know when i'm looking at something or i'm asked to do something, instead of being able to google it or look for an answer, you know now they're having to get in that context, looking for context clues or reading a passage and having to sit there and study on what did i read and did i retain that versus asking google or siri or something like that to give you the answers."

Virtual students at challenger middle have about an hour to pick up their school packets this evening.

Or they can come back another day this week live in huntsville bridget divers wayy-31 news.
