May is Mental Health Awareness Month

More than two years since the onset of the pandemic, recognition and practice of wellness remain at the forefront for our students, families, staff, and community.

As NA continues to address the needs of our community, we are maintaining our focus on mental health and wellness. Select staff members have volunteered to share their expertise, experiences, and tips for normalizing discussions around mental health.

May is recognized nationally as Mental Health Awareness Month. Throughout this next month, be on the lookout for weekly updates and help us to continue educating, supporting, and fighting the stigma for all. Visit our Mental Health and Wellness website to access materials for May 2022. Previous materials (dating back to May 2021) remain accessible to all.

Help Celebrate Teacher Appreciation Week

The first full week of May is Teacher Appreciation Week. North Allegheny is thankful for the work our teachers do to prepare all of our students for success in a changing world! If your student would like to thank a teacher May 2-6, please feel free to use a printable coloring page featuring our NASD Tiger!

Updates to Student iPads

You or your student may have noticed that your wallpaper (background) on their District iPad changed to an image like the one below. This was done in order to notify students of when their iPad is in need of an update to the operating system.

Anytime the iPad needs to be updated, the lock screen background will change to the message below.

If you see the update message, please have your student update the iPad as soon as feasible. Once the iPad has been updated, the message should disappear the following day and return to the black wallpaper shown above. 

Because of this change in the notification about updates, our systems will reset any iPad wallpaper back to the black wallpaper on a daily basis. Students may still set their wallpaper to an image of their choice but it will only last for one day before it is reset to the default image.
