Each month a dress-up day will be offered and students will have the opportunity to participate with a $1.00 donation. Our next dress-up day will be Disney Day on October 20th - Cohort 1 & October 23rd - Cohort 2!

We will also be doing other small fundraisers throughout the year to reach our goal of $5,000. This will include selling cutouts in the morning during arrival for $1.00.

We had so much fun supporting our Tiger Pride from home that we will continue the Wednesday tradition next week! Wednesday, October 14th will be our second Black & Gold Tiger Pride Day!

Wear your black and gold from head to toe, and share a picture with us on our Facebook page (McKnight Elementary PFA) to be entered to win a gift card courtesy of the McKnight PFA! If you are uncomfortable posting your child(ren)’s picture to our public page, private message submissions are accepted!

The PFA is seeking one volunteer for each classroom (K-5) to assist in making Halloween happen at McKnight! It will look a little different than usual, but we have some ideas! We need volunteers to work with the teachers to develop ideas, materials, and supplies. We will not be able to volunteer in person at the school, but we can still ensure our kids have a celebration! 

If you are interested, please send an email to mckpfavicepres@gmail.com.

Covid-19 may be keeping yearbook photographers out of the school building, but it cannot keep memories out of the yearbook! Do you have a photo you want to share? Email it to mcknightyearbook@gmail.com and indicate your child’s name, grade, and building (MCK or NACA) in the Subject line. 

Step up to the challenge and walk, bike, or run together around all North Allegheny schools to support the mission of the North Allegheny Foundation! Our mission is to enhance and enrich the educational experience of North Allegheny Students. Together we can fund programs that benefit all our students!

North Allegheny Foundation (NAF) is dedicated to enhancing and enriching the educational experiences at North Allegheny. We do this by providing grants to teachers and schools, support for NA Families facing homelessness and financial hardship, and scholarships to graduating seniors.

The North Allegheny Special Education Parent Networking Group (NASEPNG - or PNG for short) holds monthly meetings for parents of children with IEPs, 504 plans, and other learning differences. All are welcome to join PNG for their online meeting! Our next meeting will be held on Friday, October 16 at 9:30 a.m. via Zoom.

The USDA has recently approved school districts to offer free meals to all students for in-person and remote instruction. Breakfast and lunch (in-person or pickup) is free for all students.
