Summer Reading Permission Forms

We are so excited to start the Summer Reading celebrations but first, we need to collect all permission forms from participating students. Extra forms are available in the library and can be printed from the library website. Posting a picture on Instagram of your child reading, snapping a picture of the book(s) read, or emailing a picture are fun ways to stay connected over the summer, but the important part of summer reading is simply enjoying books. As long as your child read over the summer, we would love to celebrate them with an Ice Cream Sundae Bar and extra recess. Please remember that a signed permission form is required for students to participate and must be received no later than Tuesday, September 10. Any questions may be emailed to Mrs. Smokovich. Thanks to all who participated!
PTO Website

Please update all of your information on the PTO website. This will ensure that you will receive emails from the PTO and that your child receives the correct t-shirt size.

Elementary Science Textbooks

Allegheny was recently informed that online access to the elementary science textbook is no longer available. The District does have textbooks for students to use in school and out of school, if necessary. North Allegheny is also creating a document with additional online science resources that can be used at school and home to supplement the curriculum. Due to the change, the Science Department will be exploring new materials for elementary science in the near future. If you have any questions, please reach out to your child’s teacher. 
Updates to Emergency Contact Information in Tyler SIS

Emergency contact information in Tyler SIS needs to be reviewed at the beginning of each school year. This information includes phone numbers (home/work/cell), email addresses, and emergency contacts. Additionally, parents/guardians can designate individuals who are permitted to pick up their student from school. This is especially important for emergency situations as students will not be released to individuals who are not listed within the Tyler SIS account. These updates cannot be made in the Tyler 360 app.
