NASD Approved Modifications
On Monday, October 5, the North Allegheny Board of School Directors approved modifications to the instructional learning phase for the second quarter during a special voting meeting.
Approved items include:
- A recommendation to change the In-Person Instruction phase (currently Hybrid) for grades K-5 to be Full-time In-Person Instruction beginning on Wednesday, November 4.
- A recommendation to change the In-Person Instruction phase (currently Hybrid) phase for grades 6-8 to be Full-time In-Person Instruction beginning on Monday, November 16.
Students in grades 9-12 will remain in the Hybrid phase of the In-Person instruction option while the District explores ways to bring those students back to school full-time.
The end of the first quarter for grades 6-12 will move from November 10 to November 11, and the second quarter begins on Monday, November 16, 2020.
North Allegheny Cyber Academy will continue to be an option for those who desire a fully remote learning experience.
Tuesday, October 6, parents/guardians should have received an email with a link to enroll students in an instruction option for the second quarter. Parents/guardians can choose between In-Person Instruction or remote learning through NA Cyber Academy. The deadline to complete this enrollment selection is Sunday, October 11.

Laptop Insurance
Since your child has received a District-issued device (laptop or iPad), you have an opportunity to renew your participation in the annual insurance program. If you have not already renewed your insurance this school year, your coverage will end as of midnight on October 30, 2020. Membership in the insurance program is an annual process and covers the device throughout the school year and the following summer and into the start of the following year.
We have been able to maintain the annual fee at $35. You always have the option to accept or decline the coverage for the device, but you must enroll your child’s device annually at One2OneRisk.com.
Should you have any questions or concerns about this process, please do not hesitate to contact the Technology Service Desk at 412-369-5849 or via email at servicedesk@northallegheny.org.
