Easton Area Middle School students will participate in fully remote learning April 27 and 28 and will return for in-person learning on April 29, Superintendent, David F. Piperato said in a statement.

“Closing the building for Tuesday and Wednesday will provide us the necessary time for thorough cleaning and contact tracing,” Piperato said.

Hybrid B and Hybrid C in-person learning will resume Thursday.
