Building-Level Newsletters (New for 2019-2020)

Welcome to the first Building-Level Newsletter for Bradford Woods Elementary . The North Allegheny School District strives to improve the efficiency of communication with and access to information for parents/guardians. At the elementary level, the District previously utilized Peachjar and the Thursday E-Blast. Beginning in August 2019 and throughout the 2019-2020 school year, the District will send a building-specific email newsletter every Friday evening (except scheduled holiday breaks) to parents/guardians. This email will highlight the top happenings at each building, upcoming important dates, District information, and links to community flyers. Parents/guardians will only receive emails from their student’s building. An archive of emails will be available on the District website and updated with the latest newsletters each Monday morning. 
 
Parent/guardian email addresses are collected at the time of registration and are used to share District and building-level communications, and to provide updates from the District’s online gradebook and student information system. It is important for parents/guardians to update any changes in their email address by contacting the building secretary.
Math Information for Grades 2-5

North Allegheny is excited to share a new process that we will use to assist in providing math instruction to students in grades 2-5. The process involves using formative assessment data, which will give teachers the most current information on each child’s math performance.
Fall Family Night: September 13, 5-7 pm

Join other BWE families and friends for our annual Fall Family Night! During this fun-filled evening, you can visit with teachers and staff and enjoy lots of fun activities for the family including face painting, the Bradford Woods Fire Department and Coach Dave Gray Sports! No time to bring your picnic basket? Purchase dinner from one of the awesome food trucks coming for the evening or pre-order a pizza from the PFA!
Join the PFA and earn a chance to WIN!

Each year, we ask that all BWE families pay their membership fee and join the BWE PFA. Your $20 fee helps provide programs and events for our students and allows us to purchase items for the classrooms that are not covered by the District. If you pay your membership before September 30, you are automatically entered into a drawing to win a 2019-2020 BWE Yearbook!
