City kids trudged back to school today, putting up with frigid temperatures in exchange for restoring some normalcy to their storm-ravaged lives.

More than 86 percent of students -- enrolled at schools that re-opened today -- showed up to class this morning, Mayor Bloomberg and schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott said.

That figure was based on 62 percent of open schools reporting their attendance to the Board of Education by midday, according a board rep.

“That's about the same as the Monday before Election Day last year -- and we didn't have [Hurricane] Sandy last year,” Bloomberg said after touring PS 195 in Brooklyn.

“We expect even more students to be back when classes resume Wednesday morning after tomorrow's Election Day hiatus.”

At least three dozen public schools opened today with no heat, as hundreds of thousands of students returned to campus for the first time since Hurricane Sandy rocked Gotham.

“I don't feel too depressed [being back at school today], because it wasn't really fun leaving school with no power,” said Jesus Sanchez, 15, a student at the Lower Manhattan Arts Academy in Chinatown.

Sanchez, whose school has no heat, joked that he and his pals will make the best of today's winter preview: “We can all freeze together.”

Mayor Bloomberg and Board of Education officials urged parents to send their kids, with an extra sweater on their backs, to school this morning.

An overwhelming majority of campuses were open and fully operable today.

The Board of Education should know late this afternoon how many of the system's one million kids actually made it back to campus today.

Kids who attend schools damaged by the storm will be sent to their new, reassigned campuses on Wednesday.

"I still feel overwhelmed. I live in the Lower East Side and my family was affected," said Michael Casiano, the dean of attendance for New Design High School.

"I wish [New York City Schools Chancellor Dennis Walcott] had given us until Wednesday because my (school) building has no steam and the students will come in and will be freezing."

Casiano said there are 444 students at the high school and he was only expecting 200 to show up.

Lower Manhattan Arts Academy student Destiny Echavarra, 16, said she's glad to be back in class because boredom was getting the best of her at home.

"I was kind of worried about my education,” she said.

LOMA student Francisco Rivera, 18, wore a fur-lined jacket to school to survive the frigid temps.

“I'm looking forward to seeing my friends again. I've brought a fur coat,” he said, showing of the fur lining of his jacket.

United Federation of Teachers President Michael Mulgrew took issue yesterday with the city's haste.

“If you can get the schools open where kids can go to be somewhere warm and get a hot meal, that's a plus,” he said.Cheap Canada Goose Jackets outlet Canada Goose Trillium Parka.Wonderful Gucci handbags collection: cheap monster beats headphones and discount Gucci handbags by Styledrops. “But if they're being told to go to cold schools, that's probably not a good decision.”

Dozens of badly damaged schools will still be pupil free after Wednesday, no matter what.

Forty-eight schools, which serve 23,000 students, have been deemed uninhabitable for the time being, forcing their students and staff to temporary classrooms on other campuses,Next you needs to have a carefully consider the Canada Goose Calgary Jacket. Walcott said today.

Education officials said they were still working out the details — including where all the students will be relocated and how they'll be transported. But they expect plans to be in place so that everyone is back in school Wednesday.Women's Canada Goose Victoria Parka Graphite ,The design of Canada Goose Parka is the good combination of style and function.

The closed-down schools are listed on the Department of Education's Web site.

By midday today, there also were 19 schools still without power that won't be opened until electricity can be restored, Walcott added.

That could happen as early as Wednesday, officials said.

Meanwhile, eight huge Big Apple high schools, with a total of 24,000 students, also will remain closed until Wednesday, as the city struggles to relocate storm evacuees sent there.

The evacuees are now sprawled out in hallways, cafeterias and gymnasiums at the high schools — and many will still be there by Wednesday when students return.

“We're working closely with [Department of Homeless Services officials] on how we an serve both populations,” said Board of Education spokeswoman Erin Hughes.

Inside Tottenville HS, about 50 people were being housed — with single men in the teacher's cafeteria, couples and families in the student cafeteria and single women in a nearby classroom.

“We think by Wednesday those shelters will either be removed elsewhere or will stay where they are, but in a manner that won't interfere with school operations,” Bloomberg said today.Cheap Canada Goose Mystique Parka Parka For Sale.

“In other words, totally separate from the schools.”
