  • Pause Day - On a Pause day, students could be engaging in make-up assignments/quizzes/exams, previously assigned work (due on that date or a later date) or receiving teacher guidance on assignment completion. Instructional Support hours will continue as scheduled on Pause Days, however, no new instruction, quizzes/exams or new assignments will occur on these days. Teachers should utilize the Weekly Guidelines to Address Assignment Completion Concerns below to address missed work from students.  We believe this mid-week pause will be beneficial to students and teachers as we proceed with this extended closure.

Pause Days

North Allegheny School District students will participate in “Pause Days” on the dates below. “Pause Days” are intended to give students opportunities to catch up on assigned work, and no new instruction or assignments will be assigned for the specific grade levels. Teachers will be participating in activities outside of their normal instructional duties, and may not be available via email on these days. Secondary teachers will not be holding “office hours” on these days.

Pause Days for Middle and High School Buildings: Wednesdays in May (5/13, 5/20, and 5/27)
Pause Days for Elementary Buildings: Tuesdays in May (5/12, 5/19, and 5/26)

On each “Pause Day”, students are still required to check-in for daily attendance by logging into TigerID and clicking on the Remote Learning Check-In App. Click here for directions: https://nasd.school/StudentRemoteCheckIn.
Tiger Strong Live Long: Mental and Emotional Well-Being Resources

Since we are unable to see students each day in the school buildings for our usual conversations, information sharing, and check-ins, we have created a “virtual” place where students and their families can visit to gain and utilize resources to support students’ mental and emotional well-being. Students' mental health and happiness are just as important to us as academics during this time of remote learning at home.
This site, “Tiger Strong Live Long”, is a resource guide meant to answer questions, provide information, and give you real-life tips and strategies from familiar voices at school.
Remember:
Reach out to someone if you need help. We’re all in this together.
STAY #TigerStrong

District Updates
Updated Meal Pickup Information
New Sign-Up Deadlines Listed Below

The District continues to be approved to provide breakfast and lunch for all students in need. Meals can be picked up Mondays and Wednesdays through June 10. Since NA began providing meals, participation has grown and we would like to be able to ensure we have enough food supplies on hand to fill orders. Due to limited food supplies, it is important for us to know these numbers in advance to ensure we can provide meals for everyone. Starting Monday, May 4, we will now have a sign-up form for each pickup day each week.

  • Sign up by Monday at 12:00 p.m. to pick up meals on the following Wednesday.
  • Sign up by Thursday at 12:00 p.m. to pick up meals on the following Monday.

Meals will be available for pickup at the front entrance of North Allegheny Senior High School (NASH) each Monday and Wednesday between 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.

To expedite the pickup process, please display a piece of paper with the pickup person’s last name and the number of meals they are picking up in the vehicle window.
