Students at two Pacific Palisades elementary schools destroyed by fire are getting back to class Wednesday in new locations.

Children from Palisades Charter Elementary School are meeting at Brentwood Elementary Science Magnet five miles away, while students at Marquez Charter Elementary are being moved 10 miles to Nora Sterry Elementary.

Los Angeles Unified School District Superintendent Alberto Carvalho greeted students at the Brentwood school, saying they’re doing their best to get them back into a routine.

“We have a fundamental responsibility to normalize conditions,” said Carvalho.

But one student from Palisades Charter told  affiliate KCAL/KCBS it is hard to think about the school he left behind.
