Bethlehem Area School District will begin fully remote classes Dec. 14 and continue until holiday break from Dec. 23 to Jan. 3, Superintendent Dr. Joseph J. Roy said Wednesday.

After the holiday break, students will continue fully remote learning from Jan. 4 to Jan. 8 before returning to hybrid learning Jan. 11.

The reason for the transition is twofold, Roy said.

“It helps us manage the current cases that keep coming in to us, and it helps us make sure we’re balancing the safety against the educational needs of students.”
