The annual Jump Rope event is on Monday, February 24. This year we will be Jumping for the Hills. The North Allegheny Health and Physical Education Department is partnering with the North Hills Community Outreach Center to promote healthy living. Jumping rope teaches participants about the importance of a healthy lifestyle and offers them the opportunity to provide vital community service to discover that they can make a difference in someone else’s life.

Families have the option to make a donation to the NHCO to support their many community programs. To learn more about the NHCO organization or, if you would like to donate to the North Hills Community Outreach, please visit the Jump For the Hills website. Checks may be written out to NHCO and any cash donations may be turned into Mrs. Frisco.

Collecting donations is optional but all students will be participating in the jumping event during their physical education class on February 24. Thank you in advance for your support. If you have any questions please contact Mrs. Frisco.

District Updates
Inclement Weather Day Usage

On Friday, February 7, 2020, classes were canceled due to inclement weather. This inclement weather day counted as one of the four built-in days that NASD scheduled for the 2019-2020 school year. While Pennsylvania law requires public schools to provide 180 days of instruction each year, North Allegheny scheduled 184 days to allow for the possibility that up to four days might be canceled due to bad weather or other emergencies. 
 
As of February 14, 2020, there are three built-in days remaining to allow North Allegheny to cancel school for inclement weather or other emergencies. If the remaining three days are utilized, we will then proceed with utilizing Flexible Instructional Days. 
 
The District is continuing to finalize plans for the Flexible Instructional Days and will communicate those plans to families in the coming weeks.
