Dear North Allegheny Families,
Thank you for your continued patience and support as we strive to maintain a healthy and safe environment for our students, staff, and community members during the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic.
All communications that you’ve received thus far coincide with the current two-week closure only. If schools remain closed past Friday, March 27, 2020, additional details will be shared with you via email.
Continuity of Education Plan Update
During this incredibly difficult time for all, we are doing our best to balance how we academically support students, maintain the health and well-being of our students and staff members, and remain cognizant of the state and federal guidelines to which we must adhere. This has presented significant challenges for all school districts in Pennsylvania as we strive to provide educational continuity for every student in the District. We must take into account the unique needs of each student, including those with IEPs, GIEPs, 504 Agreements, and our English Language Learners.
We developed a list of resources to provide enrichment opportunities, reinforce prior learning, and provide a springboard for other independent learning activities that support the academic and emotional wellbeing of our students.
These resources are now available on the District website. Please monitor your email for updates surrounding the continuity of education.
Food Services Update
While North Allegheny school buildings are closed due to the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the District is providing breakfast and lunch for students who are registered for the federal free and reduced school lunch program. Families of students who are registered for this program have been contacted and given specific instructions on how to pick up these meals. For questions regarding this program, please contact Jay West with Metz Culinary Services at
jwest@northallegheny.org.
We continue to ask for your patience as this rapidly changing situation continues to develop. Please continue to monitor your email for the most up-to-date information. Visit the North Allegheny website at
www.northallegheny.org/Coronavirus for a list of previous communications and additional resources.
Any future official notifications will come directly from the school district.
Sincerely,
Dr. Robert Scherrer
Superintendent
