We are not able to hold our traditional Halloween parade and parties but will be doing the following items for our students:

Picture Make-Up Day is scheduled for Wednesday, November 11.  This date is different than what was originally printed on the calendar. 

On Wednesday, October 28, we will have out all the remaining items that have been found from student’s desks and lockers. This includes items from our current 6th graders. Items will be out in the main lobby and will be available between 9 a.m.-6 p.m. Many of these items do not have names.  

This is also the same day as NACA materials pick-up. Please remember to maintain social distancing and wear your mask. This will be the last opportunity to claim any items.

All new designs for 2020! Don't miss the opportunity to own yours today! Whether you are a McKnight student or a NACA student, purchasing is easy. Please see the order form linked below. All orders are due by Monday, November 23. Thank you!

Yesterday completed our final Black & Gold Tiger Pride Wednesday! Thank you to all who submitted photos, whether through email or on our PFA page through Facebook! 

If you were unable to join us last week, you can view the minutes as well as the presentation that Dr. Shute shared! Our next meeting will be virtual on November 11 at 9:15 a.m.

It’s almost time to pre-order your 2020-2021 McKnight Elementary Yearbook! You will be able to purchase Shout-Outs and/or yearbooks through the PFA website starting Thursday, October 22.

North Allegheny elementary schools will celebrate National Drug and Alcohol Prevention Week October 26-30. At each elementary school, we will participate in a variety of activities, using materials that promote good decision-making. Presentations and messages will focus on helping students understand that they are responsible for making healthy choices in life. Choosing to be alcohol, tobacco, and drug-free is one of the best choices that they can make!

Enjoy the following at-home activities from the Red Ribbon Campaign website:

With students between in-person and cyber placements for the start of the second quarter, the District will be modifying the ending date for the close of the first quarter marking period for elementary students. This is necessary since report cards need to be finalized prior to rescheduling students who are moving placements for the start of the second marking period which begins on November 4, 2020.

The District is accepting applications for Guest Substitutes through October 28, 2020. If you or someone you know is interested in learning more about these opportunities, please join us for an upcoming Q & A Session. A teaching certificate is not required. For more information, please visit our website.

The USDA has recently approved school districts to offer free meals to all students for in-person and remote instruction. Breakfast and lunch (in-person or pickup) is free for all students. 

If you have any questions, please email DiningServices@northallegheny.org.
