Building-Level Newsletters (New for 2019-2020)

Welcome to the first Building-Level Newsletter for North Allegheny Senior High School. The North Allegheny School District strives to improve the efficiency of communication with and access to information for parents/guardians. 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.
Opening Day for Students is Tuesday

The summer of 2019 is quickly coming to a close and very soon students will be reporting back to North Allegheny Senior High School to continue their education and acquire skills that will prepare them for post-secondary opportunities. We look forward to an exciting and rewarding year. 

The link below provides parents/guardians and students with important information regarding the 2019-2020 school year. Please call the Main Office at 724-934-7216 with any questions or concerns regarding this information.
Required Meningitis (MCV) Vaccination for Seniors

Students entering 12th grade are required by Pennsylvania state mandate to have documentation of the receipt of a second Meningitis (MCV) vaccination or a signed exemption on file before they will be permitted to report to school. All documentation must be mailed or faxed to our school nurse. Documentation may also be dropped off in the Main Office weekdays between 8 a.m. and 3 p.m. If these requirements are not met before the start of the 2019-2020 school year, your child will not be permitted to attend school.
