CHESAPEAKE, Va. (WAVY) — One Chesapeake school was trying to get their bear-ings after a surprising guest was seen on Thursday.

Just before 12 p.m., a deputy SRO advised of a black bear on the property of Sparrow Road Intermediate School in Chesapeake.

The children were inside the school at the time. The yearling bear went through MacDonald Manor crossed over Military Highway and entered a wooded area of Virginia Beach. VBPD was notified.

Virginia Department of Wildlife Resources advised against following the bear, and said eventually it would make it back home.
