Aluminum Foil Donations Needed

We are seeking donations of aluminum foil rolls for the art room. Students will be working to turn the art room into an installation inspired by the Japanese artist, Yayoi Kusama. Kusama's “infinity rooms” are covered in mirrors. In order to create this illusion we will be covering all walls and objects in the room with aluminum foil. Thank you so much!

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.
