Elementary School Drug and Alcohol Prevention Week
October 25-29

During the week of October 25-29, North Allegheny elementary schools will recognize National Drug and Alcohol Prevention Week. At each elementary school, we will participate in a variety of activities, using materials that promote good decision-making. Presentations and messages will focus on helping students understand that they are responsible for making healthy choices in life. Choosing to be alcohol, tobacco, and drug free is one of the best choices that they can make!

NAI Fall Play Performance Dates

  • October 16 - 7 p.m.

Tickets are $8 and sold at the door.

All performances will be held in the NAI Auditorium. Masks and social distancing are required throughout the performance.
Requesting Vaccination Cards

According to CDC guidelines, students that are fully vaccinated are not required to quarantine if they are considered a close contact with a positive COVID case. The main goal of this school year is to maintain in-person learning as much as possible. If your child has been vaccinated, please submit proof of vaccination to your student’s school nurse to avoid future quarantines.  

If you choose to submit a copy of your child’s vaccination card, this information will be treated in the same manner as all medical information: with the utmost confidentiality, inline with FERPA and HIPAA regulations. This information will not be released to the public in any way and will simply be used to make informed decisions for contact tracing purposes.

Thank you for your assistance and if you have any questions, please reach out to your school nurse. 
NA Transportation Career Open House
October 19, 2021 - 11 a.m. or 1 p.m. or 6-8 p.m.
