Building-Level Newsletters (New for 2019-2020)

Welcome to the first Building-Level Newsletter for Marshall 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.
Elementary Math Instruction in 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.
MES Homeroom Assignments

All families should have received notification of homeroom assignments via email. Please click the link below for homeroom numbers and locations. Fifth grade students assigned to Mrs. Knouff and Mr. Dissen will be located in the modular classrooms. Those students will enter the building using the main office entrance and proceed through the building toward the playground. School staff will be present to lead students to the modular entrance. If you have not received a homeroom assignment or a colored bus tag, please contact the office prior to the first day of school.
Marshall Elementary Curriculum Nights

The North Allegheny School District has scheduled the annual District-Wide Curriculum Nights for each of the elementary schools. We would like to extend an invitation to all of our families to join us on these evenings. The evenings have been designated for specific grade levels and are intended for parents/guardians only - children are not to attend. The school District recognizes that this may be an inconvenience; however, the presentations are designed for the parents/guardians.
