NORTH TEXAS – School is back in session across Dallas-Fort Worth and CBS News Texas also went back-to-school.

Two teachers also joined the bus ride on Wednesday before arriving at the school, where Madison Sawyer and Carmen Blackwell met with Scott Padgett for some back to school fun.

Madison, Carmen and Scott chatted with Martin HS students, Martin HS principal Marlene Roddy and Arlington ISD Superintendent Dr. Matt Smith.
