MES Veterans Day Breakfast
Marshall Elementary will host its annual Veterans Day event to honor our American veterans on
Friday, November 8, 2019. It is always a joy to start our day with our veteran guests and to allow our students to show their appreciation for the men and women who have served in the armed forces. If you plan on attending, please click on the links below and provide your veteran guest with the invitation. The second link is the RSVP that we ask you to complete so we can have an accurate count for breakfast that day. If you plan on attending our Breakfast Buddies in October, please bring a copy of a photograph of your guest. Otherwise, please send it in to school by Friday, October 25th. If sending electronically, please email it to Mrs. Diane Macedonia at
dmacedonia@northallegheny.org. It may be a recent photo or one of them serving in the military. Please do not send in original photographs as we will not be able to return them to you.

National Drug and Alcohol Prevention Week is October 28 through November 1. At each elementary school, we will participate in a variety of activities, using materials that promote good decision-making. Classroom lessons and messages will focus on helping students understand that they are responsible for making healthy choices in life. Choosing to be alcohol, tobacco, and drug free is one of the best choices that they can make!

SchoolMessenger Test Notification
Evening of Monday, November 4, 2019
In anticipation of the winter months ahead, we will be conducting a District-wide SchoolMessenger test on the evening of Monday, November 4, around 6:00 p.m.
SchoolMessenger is a web-based automated system and is one of the North Allegheny School District’s communication vehicles for the delivery of information to parents/guardians and staff via phone, email, and/or text. Messages may include attendance notifications, school delays or cancellations, information about a serious health-related issue, or a crisis response update.
SchoolMessenger imports information from Tyler SIS Student 360, including your cell, home, and work phone numbers, as well as the email address you use to log into Tyler. If you wish to add additional phone numbers into SchoolMessenger that are not listed in Tyler, or opt-in for text messages and emails, you will need to create a SchoolMessenger account. Accounts created during the 2018-19 school year are still active.
