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.
Website Redesign Survey

The North Allegheny School District is reviewing the design of the NASD website with intentions to modernize it for the 2020-2021 school year. As part of this effort, we would like to know how you use the NASD website.
 
The survey linked below contains five quick questions and should only take a few minutes to complete. Please help us improve our website and make it more useful to you by telling us about your experiences.
