Just like the four key directions on a compass (N-E-S-W), our Strategic and Comprehensive is guided by four key areas: the North Allegheny Experience, Engagement, Support Services, and a Welcoming Environment.

For the next four weeks, we will spotlight the goal of a strategic focus area in the 2022-2029 Strategic & Comprehensive Plan. This week we will feature The North Allegheny Experience.

Engagement

The NASD community encompasses many different people and perspectives. When we come together with a shared goal of a student-centered school District, we will meet the needs of all students and their families. 

GOAL: Create opportunities for collaboration between key stakeholders to solve problems and improve the NA Experience for our students. 

The full 2022-2029 Strategic & Comprehensive plan, with action steps, can be found on our website. 

The North Allegheny Board of School Directors will vote to approve the Strategic and Comprehensive Plan at the September 21, 2022 meeting. Information about NASD Board of Directors Meetings can be found on our website.

While reviewing the plan, you may have questions or would like to share your thoughts. Please send feedback by September 18, 2022, to CommunicationsDept@northallegheny.org.

National Suicide Prevention Week

September 5-11

Next week is National Suicide Prevention Week. Beginning July 16, 2022, 988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (formerly called the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline).

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers 24/7 access to trained counselors who can help people experiencing mental health-related distress. Individuals experiencing a mental health crisis can now call or text a three-digit number, 988, to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and connect with mental health professionals trained to respond to such emergencies. Individuals can also connect to the Lifeline via chat at https://988lifeline.org.

Tiger Nation: Responsible Behavior at Athletic Events 

Elementary Students Must Be Accompanied By An Adult At Athletic Events

North Allegheny School District Athletic Events provide an opportunity for our community to come together and create memories while supporting our student-athletes. 

The District wants to remind all parents/guardians of our expectations when attending athletic events. 

There is No I in Team - Elementary Students Must Be Accompanied By An Adult

• An adult must accompany students in elementary school at NASD Athletic Events. 
• The adult accompanying the school student(s) is responsible for supervising the student’s behavior throughout the sporting event.
• Elementary students may not be dropped off at the game without a responsible adult present. 

Be A Good Sport - Show Positive, Respectful Behavior

• Please encourage your student(s) to show good sportsmanship. 
• Throwing items in/from the stands or onto the field will not be tolerated. 
• Unruly or inappropriate behavior and/or language may be deemed grounds for dismissal from the event. 

Together We Win! - Help NA Create a Welcoming Environment

• We need our community’s support to create a high-energy atmosphere while maintaining a safe, welcoming, family-oriented environment.
• Information about all NA Tiger Athletic Events can be found on our athletics website at https://athletics.northallegheny.org.
