Nazareth Area middle, high schools are likely to stick with hybrid learning Updated 9:43 AM; Facebook Share Nazareth Area middle and high schools should stick with 2-day-a-week in-school classes rather than go to five days a week, according to the superintendent. Nazareth Area School District Superintendent Dennis Riker sent a letter Monday to parents of middle and high school students outlining his recommendation to the school board. He said there isn’t enough room in the middle and high schools to maintain six feet of social distancing for the full student body. Also, students in those schools switch classes and don’t move from room to room as a full class like the children in the elementary and intermediate schools.
