As new covid cases continue to drop in Westmoreland County and it appears a post-holiday coronavirus spike has been dodged, several area school districts have brought students back to classrooms with more planning such a return.
Students at Greater Latrobe, Jeannette and Yough have returned to school after using a hybrid model, or a mix of in-class and remote instruction, since the beginning of the year. Other districts including Hempfield Area, Ligonier Valley, Norwin and Penn-Trafford are making plans to get students back to their desks more than two days a week.

The Greater Latrobe School District staff members who lined up Saturday to get covid vaccines said the shots gave them a glimmer of hope that the pandemic could be nearing its end.
“I was thrilled,” said Renee Gyory, a secretary and one of the first district employees to be vaccinated. “It’s positive; it’s what we need. The sooner everyone’s vaccinated, the sooner we can move on with normal life.”
