2 of Lehigh Valley’s biggest districts weigh bringing elementary students back for more days Updated Feb 22, 2021; Facebook Share The Bethlehem and Easton area school districts are considering bringing elementary students back for more full-time instruction this spring. Bethlehem is studying returning hybrid K-5 students to in-person instruction five days a week, starting April 11, the start of the fourth marking period, Superintendent Joseph Roy said in a video message sent Monday to district parents. Easton is taking a different sort of approach, floating the idea of returning K-2 students four days a week once Northampton County drops to moderate spread of the coronavirus for two consecutive weeks, according to a presentation Superintendent David Piperato made to the school board last week.
