District Updates
Flexible Instructional Day Previously Scheduled for February 3

In previous communications sent by the District, it was declared that Monday, February 3, 2020, would be a scheduled practice Flexible Instructional Day (FID) for the District. However, the District was notified on Tuesday, January 7, 2020, that the Pennsylvania Department of Education did not approve the request. 
 
Therefore, the practice Flexible Instructional Day has been canceled for February 3, and all North Allegheny Schools will be in session for a regularly scheduled school day. 
 
The first FID will be implemented if/when North Allegheny uses all four of the built-in snow days. 
Jump for the Hills

North Allegheny’s Elementary Schools are teaming up to Jump for the Hills! The annual jump rope fundraiser will allow students to learn about the needs in their community while raising funds for a local non-profit. For additional information, click the buttons below to view the letter and flyer.
