Sumario:Widespread school closures and other non‐pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), used to limit the spread of SARS‐CoV‐2, significantly disrupted transmission patterns of seasonal respiratory viruses. As NPIs were relaxed, populations were vulnerable to resurgence. This study within a small community assessed acute respiratory illness among kindergarten through grade 12 students as they returned to public schools from September through December 2022 without masking and distancing requirements. The 277 specimens collected demonstrated a shift from rhinovirus to influenza. With continued circulation of SARS‐CoV‐2 and return of seasonal respiratory viruses, understanding evolving transmission patterns will play an important role in reducing disease burden.
