Welcome back! We in the Community Service Office hope you are doing well! These have been challenging times in finding volunteer opportunities, but we are working on finding and coordinating possibilities, and as always, the Bethlehem Area School District wants the best environment for all students when volunteering. Working together we can overcome anything!

I would like to take this time to communicate important information concerning the community service graduation requirement.

• All students are recommended to do at least 15 hours a year.
• 60 hours is the graduation requirement for all senior to earn a .5 credit 
• 135 hours is the number of required hours to have for the Silver Cord
• All community service hours should be done at a non-profit organization

Please note: STUDENTS ARE TO FOLLOW THE AGENCY/ORGANIZATION'S PROTOCOL DUE TO COVID19 when volunteering.

AT THIS TIME THERE ARE NO CHANGES TO THE COMMUNITY SERVICE GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS. IF AND WHEN THERE IS A CHANGE WITH THE REQUIREMENTS, I WILL NOTIFY STUDENTS AND PARENTS OF THE CHANGE VIA EMAIL, ZOOM, AND THE COMMUNITY SERVICE WEBSITE.

Please stay strong and stay healthy!

Thank you
