Ingomar Inklings
Week of August 26-30, 2019
Welcome to the first Building-Level Newsletter for Ingomar 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 Flexible Grouping at the Elementary Level

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.
Tyler 360 Information

The Tyler 360 portal will be populated with student information starting on Monday, August 26. This includes schedules, profiles, health information, grades, etc. If you log in before that date, you will not see any prior or current information for your student(s).
