TAG Volunteer Sign-Up and Informational Meeting
The Traveling Art Gallery (T.A.G.) is an exciting art appreciation program in which parent volunteers introduce an artwork to kindergarten through fifth grade classrooms via a short, discussion-led presentation. The program is designed to promote visual literacy skills and is a unique opportunity to be involved in the classroom.
To be a T.A.G. volunteer you DO NOT need to have previous art experience! Presentations take place over three designated weeks during the school year (dates will be announced at the meeting next Wednesday). Presentations are up to 30 minutes in length and there is lots of information and support available to volunteers to maximize enjoyment for all. To make the most of your TAG experience we ask that volunteers deliver a presentation to at least three classes over the course of the three designated TAG weeks. So, that’s your own child’s class plus two more of the same presentations using the same print in the same grade level. If you have more than one child in the building and you are able, we welcome and appreciate you presenting in each of your children’s grade levels. As a presenter you schedule a mutually convenient date and time within the designated TAG presentation weeks directly with each homeroom teacher.
Please fill out the google form, via this
LINK, if you are interested in volunteering. If you have more than one child at MES and/or would like to present to more than one grade level, please complete a separate volunteer form for each child. Once enrolled as a volunteer, you will be given lots of support material to help you prepare for your presentations. Email
tagmarshallelementary@gmail.com with questions about the MES TAG program. THANK YOU!

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 Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) has waived the January 6 power outage closure and January 16 water main break school closures for MES and MES. The canceled school days will not need to be made up for these two buildings.
