Board/Strategy Games Needed

Our Connections program is looking to build a collection of board/strategy games for the school. We feel the students would enjoy and benefit from old-fashioned face-to-face interactive gameplay. If you have any games that you are no longer using at home such as checkers, chess, Battleship, etc, please consider donating them to IMS.

You can find more details on the IMS website.

District Updates
Inclement Weather Day Usage

On Friday, February 7, 2020, classes were canceled due to inclement weather. This inclement weather day counted as one of the four built-in days that NASD scheduled for the 2019-2020 school year. While Pennsylvania law requires public schools to provide 180 days of instruction each year, North Allegheny scheduled 184 days to allow for the possibility that up to four days might be canceled due to bad weather or other emergencies. 
 
As of February 14, 2020, there are three built-in days remaining to allow North Allegheny to cancel school for inclement weather or other emergencies. If the remaining three days are utilized, we will then proceed with utilizing Flexible Instructional Days. 
 
The District is continuing to finalize plans for the Flexible Instructional Days and will communicate those plans to families in the coming weeks.
