On Friday, October 30, the PA Department of Health (DOH) updated the COVID-19 Early Warning Dashboard, moving the designation of the level of community transmission of COVID-19 in Lehigh County from MODERATE to SUBSTANTIAL.
PA Department of Education (PDE) recommends districts in the county not make any changes in instructional models until a new set of data is released this Friday, November 6.
If Lehigh County remains in the SUBSTANTIAL category, PDE will recommend all Lehigh County schools utilize the fully remote model.
Based on the change in county level of transmission status and information from PDE, we do not have a return to school date for K-1 learners at this time. We will provide parents/guardians with 2 weeks notice prior to bringing students back into our school buildings.
