IDK what's best for the children, maybe some of them are too traumatized and need more time and others would be better to just jump back into a classroom setting. I'm assuming that parents will be allowed a lot of flexibility in making that determination for their children.
I think that the children at the school range from ages 5 to 10 years old and Maggot's probably right that age will factor into how different children process what went down. In any case, a nearby closed school will be re-opened so that Sandy Hill staff and students can resume classes this week. Wishing them all as smooth and comfortable a transition as possible.

Newtown will be using Chalk Hill School beginning this week. It is important that the Sandy Hook students get back to school quickly in an environment that is familiar and safe.
