The education minister has said it is vital that all children return to school, but broader public health must be considered when making decisions.
Pre-school, nursery and pupils in primaries one to three will return to classrooms on 8 March.
They will then resume remote learning on 22 March to enable the return of pupils in years 12 to 14 until the start of the Easter holidays.
The return to classroom learning has been welcomed by school leaders.
The vast majority of pupils in Northern Ireland have been learning remotely since Christmas.
