Crestline Elementary School kindergarten teacher Martha Dunlap, a 37-year teaching veteran, helps two of her 18 first-year students, Brody Roberts and Madison Griffith, retrieve supplies from their backpacks.

Hartselle Schools reopened on Tuesday for the 2010-11 term with an enrollment of 3,103, an increase of eight over first day enrollment last year. “Everything went smoothly, I haven’t heard of any hitches,” Superintendent Dr. Mike Reed said. “That’s a credit to the central office staff, administrators, teachers and support personnel having everything ready to go.”
