As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, students have experienced an inconsistent schedule of instruction over the past year.

The Summer Bridge program is being offered to all incoming Northampton Area School District students in kindergarten through grade 12. Face-to-face or virtual instruction will be taught by NASD teachers.

There will be three sessions - planned for June 14-July 1, July 6-22 and July 26-Aug. 12.
