Each week, we will share news from the District and from your student’s building.

• Please click on your student’s building below to access their building-specific information.
• Below the links to the building newsletters, you will find important information from the District.

February 8 Special Meeting E-Report

To offer improved communication with our families, we are including NASD School Board Meeting E-Reports in weekly newsletters following Board meetings.

• February 8 Special Meeting

Closing/Delay Communication Sources

On occasion, weather conditions or other unexpected circumstances may make it necessary for school to be delayed or canceled. The safety of our students is always paramount in this decision-making process.

Official communications about NASD delays and closings will be shared via:

• SchoolMessenger 
• NA Website: www.northallegheny.org 
• Local Media: WTAE-TV | WPXI-TV | KDKA-TV

Moving forward, NASD will NOT share school closings and delays on our social media sites. Over the past few months, we've been seeing some districts across the country deal with imposter social media posts implying that school has been canceled or delayed. Moving forward, NASD will not post any delay or closing information on social media to avoid potential confusion.

North Allegheny Intermediate High School Presents: “You Can’t Take It with You”

You’re invited to the North Allegheny Intermediate High School Spring Play - “You Can’t Take It with You.” 

About “You Can’t Take It with You”

The family of Martin Vanderhof lives “just around the corner from Columbia University - but don’t go looking for it.” Grandpa, as Martin is more commonly known, is the paterfamilias of a large and extended family of charming eccentrics. His granddaughter, Alice, is an attractive and loving girl who is still embarrassed by her family’s idiosyncrasies. When Alice falls for her boss, Tony, a handsome scion of Wall Street, she fears that their two families – so unlike in manner, politics, and finances – will never come together. But why be obsessed by money? After all, you can’t take it with you...
