March is Music In Our Schools Month
March is Music In Our Schools Month (MIOSM) and we are so fortunate to have teachers, staff, and a principal who are so supportive of our Hosack Music program – as well as a music team that loves what they do!
STUDENT ASSEMBLIES
In the past, we held one large Music In Our Schools Month assembly.
This year, we are planning on 2 assemblies. (The 2-assembly plan will help with parents finding adequate parking and getting signed in.)
- Friday, March 20 at 2:30 p.m. will feature musical selections from Kindergarten, 1st and 2nd grades (3rd, 4th, and 5th will watch)
- Monday, March 23 at 2:15 p.m. will feature musical selections from Tiger Chorale, 3rd, 4th and 5th grades (K, 1st, and 2nd will watch)

Hosack Ukulele Group
We would like to incorporate ukuleles in music lessons for grades 3-5. Together with the NA Foundation, Hosack is collecting donations to purchase 30 ukuleles, tuners, spare strings, beginner books, and possibly a rack or stand to house the instruments. Additionally, the Hosack Ukulele Group will be collecting loose change. The money collected will help purchase necessary items for the students in grades 3 to 5 to start playing ukuleles! Start saving your loose change for this exciting program!
Please login to the NA Foundation website and look for "HUG Hosack Ukulele Group" to make your donation. Thanks so much!

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.
