(CNN)Amber and Zack Davies know too well how easily children can get coronavirus.

Their 14-year-old son contracted Covid-19 at summer camp, even though both he and the camp took precautions, Zack Davies said.

"It's scary, because the camp, they've done all the precautions that they can," he said. "And now we're just about to shuttle all of our kids back to school."

On Friday, Jefferson City Schools -- about an hour northeast of Atlanta -- will be the first district in Georgia to "reopen schools for face-to-face instruction."

"They're going to open the floodgates wide open," Amber Davies said.

"And there's no way to (contact) trace. Once kids go from one class to the next class, to the next class, they cannot do the tracing."

Across the US, countless parents are riddled with anxiety -- for different reasons.

In school districts where classrooms are reopening, children, teachers and staff run the risk of infection.

1. Jefferson went like 80% for trump in 2016. I'd like to see those kids in school

year round, where they might learn different views from their parents.
