Week of January 20-24, 2020
Please Help Solve a Mystery in the Library

In November, the book "Two Dogs in a Trench Coat Start a Club" arrived from Amazon missing information about the donating family. If you purchased this through the Birthday Book Club Wish List, please email Mrs. Smokovich. The book will then be processed and presented to the lucky birthday student! Thank you!
Aluminum Foil Donations Needed

We are seeking donations of aluminum foil rolls for the art room. Students will be working to turn the art room into an installation inspired by the Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. Kusama's “infinity rooms” are covered in mirrors. To create this illusion we will be covering all walls and objects in the room with aluminum foil. Thank you so much!
Birthday Book Club

This month the Birthday Book Club is celebrating January birthdays! If you would like to participate you can shop directly through the Library’s Amazon Wish List for more book choices, more price options AND you will earn cashback for IES by using your Amazon Smile account. Click HERE to get started!  Thank you so much for supporting our school library and encouraging a love of reading in all of our students. Please contact Mrs. Smokovich with any questions/comments.

District Updates
Flexible Instructional Day Previously Scheduled for February 3

In previous communications sent by the District, it was declared that Monday, February 3, 2020, would be a scheduled practice Flexible Instructional Day (FID) for the District. However, the District was notified on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, that the Pennsylvania Department of Education did not approve the request. 
 
Therefore, the practice Flexible Instructional Day has been canceled for February 3, and all North Allegheny Schools will be in session for a regularly scheduled school day. 
 
The first FID will be implemented if/when North Allegheny uses all four of the built-in snow days.
Jump for the Hills

 North Allegheny’s Elementary Schools are teaming up to Jump for the Hills! The annual jump rope fundraiser will allow students to learn about the needs in their community while raising funds for a local non-profit. For additional information, click the buttons below to view the letter and flyer.
