2020 Senior Post-Prom

The Senior Prom will take place on May 2, 2020, at the David L. Lawrence Convention Center from 7:30-11:30 p.m. Following the prom, our senior parents/guardians are planning the Post-Prom which will be held at NASH from midnight to 5 a.m. The theme for this year’s Post-Prom is Friends Episode 2020. 

The Post-Prom provides a safe and supervised environment for our students as they celebrate the end of their high school experience. This event is a gift to our students from our community and parents/guardians to celebrate and recognize their success. The Post-Prom also serves as a gift to our community, our first responders, and to our families and children. When students are provided with safe alternatives, they are less likely to engage in behaviors that can have a tragic impact on our community.

The Senior Post-Prom is primarily funded through generous donations, and the Post-Prom committees cannot do this without your help. We would like to thank you for your donations in support of the 2020 Post-Prom. We are pleased to report that we have already reached 32% of the goal ($3,175 out of $10,000), but we still need help. Please spread the word to parents/guardians and consider donating.

District Updates
Inclement Weather Day Usage

On Friday, February 7, 2020, classes were canceled due to inclement weather. This inclement weather day counted as one of the four built-in days that NASD scheduled for the 2019-2020 school year. While Pennsylvania law requires public schools to provide 180 days of instruction each year, North Allegheny scheduled 184 days to allow for the possibility that up to four days might be canceled due to bad weather or other emergencies. 
 
As of February 14, 2020, there are three built-in days remaining to allow North Allegheny to cancel school for inclement weather or other emergencies. If the remaining three days are utilized, we will then proceed with utilizing Flexible Instructional Days. 
 
The District is continuing to finalize plans for the Flexible Instructional Days and will communicate those plans to families in the coming weeks.
