Northwestern Lehigh School District Superintendent Jennifer Holman provided this updated COVID-19 letter to parents, guardians and students April 3 on the district website:

The first week of online learning is completed and based on the comments we’ve received it was a great success.

Families sent photos and messages of our students connecting and learning online.

We even had our morning exercises with the Pledge of Allegiance and a daily sing along.

Next week starts a new challenge with mandatory online learning as your child’s classes begin to progress through new content and new learning.

The fourth marking period began April 6.

All instruction, activities, and assessments starting April 6 and onward will be entered into the fourth marking period.

A few items to update you:

•School Closure: On March 30, the governor of Pennsylvania extended this school closure indefinitely. Our Continuity of Education Plan will be in effect until school resumes.

•Grab and Go breakfast and lunch are still being provided by the district for all families who qualify for free and reduced lunch. Go to nwlehighsd.org/GGProgram for more information.

If your family is experiencing hardship during this time, contact your child’s counselor.

•Easter break will continue as scheduled on the calendar as the following: ?

April 9: Follow your building’s online schedule for today.

?April 10: No school.

?April 13: Teacher in-service day. No school for students.

•There have been no decisions about end of the year calendar adjustments/extensions, graduation, or end of the year activities at this point. As soon as decisions are made on these items, we will communicate to each of you.

•If you or your child have technology questions or need technology help, email helpdesk@nwlehighsd.org.
