Despite efforts by the New Bedford School District urging parents to register their children early for school, officials say there has been a large influx of new students signing up over the last week or so.

Supt. Dr. Pia Durkin says many of those students are from Guatemala and Honduras. Others have moved to New Bedford recently from other parts of the state.....

Classes in New Bedford officially begin on Tuesday.
