It would make sense that he would climb the fence and enter the school from the door nearest to the crashed truck. There are two doors on the side of the teacher parking lot, one is to the north and one to the south.
He entered from the one that is closest to a huge HVAC system, as per the video.
The graphic I’ve seen shows entrance from the N side of the school. I think he may have entered from the S side of the school which is nearer to the truck crash and also would be the least populated area.

I just checked on Google Earth, the images from the video of SR more closely match the North entrance from the teacher parking lot, not the South entrance. If that video is of him entering the building then he likely entered from the South.

McCraw said Friday that the commander on the scene said the situation had changed from an active shooter to a “barricaded subject” situation.

"The on-scene commander considered a barricaded subject and that there was time and that there were no more children at risk," he said. "Obviously, you know, based upon the information we have, there were children in that classroom that were at risk and it was in fact still an active shooter situation and not a barricaded subject."
….
McCraw said the classroom doors locked from the inside and noted, “hundreds of rounds were pumped in in four minutes near those two classrooms.”

“Any firing afterwards was sporadic and it was at the door. So the belief is that there may not be anybody living anymore, and that the subject is now trying to keep law enforcement at bay, or entice them to come in,” he said.

The article contrasts early statements with what's being said now very effectively. WORTH READING!

One week later, new details continue to surface as officials walk back initial claims in the evolving chronicle of the shooting. Here's a list of some of those inconsistencies. Click through each claim to see the original claim and what authorities are saying now.

Here's a question. Where's the mayor been? He was one of the first ones to speak out - IIRC I think he said he was at the Funeral Home across the street when it all started - but I could be wrong. He was very vocal at that first presser - calling O'Rouke a "sick SOB". Now the the days that followed - he has been silent. It has been reported that he was the one that requested the DOJ investigation but in the same breath he has backed the Chief (Arrendondo). And in the past 3 or 4 days - we have heard NOTHING from him.

The Mayor's been all over the news this week talking to reporters including supporting the Police Chief PA and criticizing the Gov saying nobody misled him about the events. Then he blamed the Lt Gov for starting the "misled" rhetoric -- saying he (Mayor) was also present in the room when the Gov was briefed.

And then last night when he announced City Council swore in PA, he apologized to Lt Gov that he misunderstood he was responsible. MOO

Uvalde Mayor announces that City Council members have been sworn in. That includes CISD Police Chief Pete Arredondo.

The mayor said on Monday that the meeting would not take place as scheduled. Arredondo has been blamed for law enforcement's failure to engage the shooter at Robb.

IMO, the confusion started with the DPS footprint used at Friday's presser by the Director where the footprint is upside-down -- North is at the bottom of the graphic!!

I've since reversed the footprint photo so that North is at the top, and marked up an aerial of the campus for clarity. And now I'm seeing a new illustration depicting swat crawling on the roofs of buildings and we know that's bogus. These all should be labeled "for illustration purposes only" so they stop being taken as fact. JMO

APPENDING MY QUOTED YOUTUBE POST WITH the footprint illustration by DPS to add the following warning:

PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT FOR WHATEVER REASON, THE AUTHOR OF THIS GRAPHIC PLACED "NORTH" AT THE BOTTOM OF THE ILLUSTRATION. o_O

Accordingly, it follows that SR used the North entrance (as opposed to the south entrance). MOO

Uvalde attends funeral of teacher, who shielded students from bullets

The fourth-grade teacher was one of the 21 who lost their lives after Salvador Ramos, 18, barricaded their classroom and began shooting, killing 19 kids.

quote from above article

Archbishop Gustavo Garcia-Siller, who presided over the ceremony, honored the educator for protecting her students like she would her own children.

He said: 'Because you were there with them…You did what you would have done with your own children. You took care of them until your last breath.'

Teachers stand at their open doors while classes are changing and monitor the passing in the hallways while also letting students into the classroom. Then close the door to start class. Most prop the door with a stopper while waiting for all to enter because they are heavy doors and they shut automatically. Students do not leave the school building unless being signed out by a parent, or, in the case of seniors, some have early dismissal. They leave through the main doors after signing out. Or they may leave through the student parking lot doors, which close automatically behind them.

But I wonder what happens in a case like this elementary school that had multiple buildings, with a cafeteria labeled on the other side of campus? Do the teachers take their students to the cafeteria and then go pick them up after lunch to let them in the exterior doors of the buildings?

I've been retired from teaching a few years now, and have been subbing in the same district ever since. I currently only work at the high school, where I previously taught. But when I began, I did work at several of the elementary schools and also the middle school. While there are not separate buildings in my case, all the teachers do escort their classrooms to the cafeteria. They also return to pick them up and escort them back.

Teachers eat lunch at the same time in their own lunch room. Several teachers and aides do have duties to monitor the cafeteria while students are in there eating. In the case of elementary and primary grades, the students are never left alone. Not at lunch, not at recess, not even before or after school.
 
The paperwork submitted for the judge’s approval contained a glaring mistake —the affidavit named a completely different suspect than Ramos, in a human smuggling case not connected to the school shooting.

In the final moments of her life, Eva Mireles, a teacher at Robb Elementary School, was on the phone with her husband, Ruben Ruiz, a school district police officer, the senior county official said on Wednesday…

The latest detail about the teacher’s phone call to her husband is potentially an important one — suggesting that at least one of the officers arriving at the scene had information from inside the classrooms that could have informed the decision by the police to delay entry.

A question remained as to whether 911 calls from children inside the classrooms, starting 30 minutes after the gunman arrived, were communicated to the commander at the scene.

(CNN) Pedro "Pete" Arredondo, the embattled Uvalde school police chiefwho led the flawed law enforcement response to last week's school shooting and has remained out of the public eye since, spoke exclusively to CNN on Wednesday and declined to answer substantive questions about the massacre.

"We're going to be respectful to the family," he said. "We're going to do that eventually. Whenever this is done and the families quit grieving, then we'll do that obviously."

poor choice of words...he acts cold-hearted.
Some may never "quit grieving" and some are dying of broken hearts. My heart aches for these families <modsnip>
