Redbank Valley School District has designated the following safe walking routes for our High School and Primary school students.  These walking routes utilize New Bethlehem's ample sidewalks to keep students from walking in the streets on their way to-and-from school.  If your student is interested in walking to school, please have them follow one of the following routes, which you can view by clicking on the links below.

• New Bethlehem to High School
• South Bethlehem to High School
• New Bethlehem to Primary School

Redbank Valley School District knows that families struggle from time to time, and we want you to know that support is available both locally and county-wide.  Compiled below is information available for families in need.  If you are aware of a student or family in need of assistance, please contact the district or refer them to call "2-1-1" (see below) or view any of the resources posted here.  Families and students may also be referred to the High School Guidance Office.
