Dear North Allegheny Parents/Guardians,
North Allegheny is continuing to monitor the latest updates regarding the Coronavirus (COVID-19) from the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD), Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), and World Health Organization (WHO). It is important to remember that at this time, there are no confirmed cases of Coronavirus within our region.
On Wednesday, March 11, North Allegheny released new guidelines out an abundance of caution for the safety of our students, staff, and community, which will be in effect through
Monday, April 13, 2020, or until further notice.
Those guidelines can be found here. The District also has met with trip sponsors for canceled trips and instructed them to reach out to families regarding questions and concerns.
North Allegheny Administrators will continue to participate in regional and state meetings regarding upcoming preparedness plans and will continue to communicate updates with families and staff members to keep them informed. The District also continues to develop plans for remote learning should the need arise.
At this time, all North Allegheny schools will continue to operate on regular schedules. However, in addition to the guidelines shared with families on March 11,
the District will also be canceling and/or postponing the following activities:
- Schools-sponsored events that involve more than five individuals who are not students, staff, parents/guardians, and/or siblings.
- All field trips and staff travel are canceled through April 13, 2020, including community-based instruction activities, individual options (IO), etc.
- Art shows and all other evening performances and activities are postponed through April 13, 2020.
Activities that will continue at this time include:
- School-sponsored events after hours that involve:
- Only students, staff, parents/guardians, and/or siblings.
- Less than five individuals who are not students, staff, and/or siblings.
- In-school assemblies for staff and students only.
- YMCA before and after-school activities and the kindergarten wrap-around half-day program hosted at NA buildings.
- PFA parent meetings are currently being evaluated, and at this point have not been canceled.
Please note that any of these guidelines may change as the situation continues to develop.
Thank you for your continued support as we strive to maintain a healthy and safe environment for our students, staff, and community members.
North Allegheny School District
