Dear North Allegheny Fifth, Sixth, & Seventh Grade Parents/Guardians,
This past October, the North Allegheny School District Board of School Directors voted on a final plan to redraw the boundaries for Elementary and Middle Schools for the 2020-2021 school year. These redistricting efforts support our continued growth in student enrollment and help balance the capacity in each of our school buildings.
Redistricting for students currently enrolled in grades 5, 6, and 7 will be implemented as planned for the start of the 2020-2021 school year. NASD will honor the continuation option for current 6th and 7th grade students who elected to remain in their current school. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the ultimate closure of all North Allegheny school buildings for the final three months of the 2019-2020 school year, the plan to redistrict students currently in grades K-4 has been delayed for one year. Current K-4 students will continue to attend their current school for the 2020-2021 year rather than their redistricted school.
NASD is still planning to implement transition activities for all students across the District who are moving from grade 5 to grade 6. Some of these transition activities may be remote and others may occur in person over the summer if social distancing guidelines permit.
North Allegheny continues to be committed to approaching redistricting in a manner that is supportive of all involved. Questions can be emailed to
redistricting@northallegheny.org. Please continue to pay close attention to your email for future communications regarding redistricting plans and transition activities for students moving into 6th grade. Thank you for your patience and understanding. We wish you and your family well during this difficult time.
Respectfully,
North Allegheny School District
