Ever wonder what the staff of BWE were like when THEY were in elementary school? Check out this super fun slideshow to see what your favorite BWE staff members looked like when they were in Kindergarten through 5th grades. Can you guess who is who? A very special shout out to Mrs. Macher for putting this project together for our BWE families!
A Message from the Principal

Families, this week you received some very important information regarding the District’s decision to postpone redistricting. I am sure this news may have generated mixed emotions for you or your child(ren). I want to extend myself to all of you and ensure that you know I would be happy to speak with any of you regarding any questions or concerns that you might have regarding redistricting, remote learning, or anything else for that matter! I must admit that although being “overcrowded” at BWE presents some challenges, I am secretly thrilled to have ALL of my BWE students and staff back in the family. I would love to hear from you about how your family is doing during this time.

Take Care,
Mrs. Eimiller

The District will continue with the remote learning plan for the duration of the closure of our buildings. Details on remote learning for elementary and secondary students can be found on the NA website.
Updated Meal Pickup Information
Sign-Up Deadlines Listed Below

The District continues to be approved to provide breakfast and lunch for all students. Meals can be picked up Mondays and Wednesdays through June 10. Since NA began providing meals, participation has grown and we would like to be able to ensure we have enough food supplies on hand to fill orders. Due to limited food supplies, it is important for us to know these numbers in advance to ensure we can provide meals for everyone. As of May 4, we now have a sign-up form for each pickup day each week.

  • Sign up by Monday at 12:00 p.m. to pick up meals on the following Wednesday.
  • Sign up by Thursday at 12:00 p.m. to pick up meals on the following Monday.

Meals will be available for pickup at the front entrance of North Allegheny Senior High School (NASH) each Monday and Wednesday between 12:00 p.m. and 1:30 p.m.

To expedite the pickup process, please display a piece of paper with the pickup person’s last name and the number of meals they are picking up in the vehicle window.
Pause Days

North Allegheny School District students will participate in “Pause Days” on the dates below. “Pause Days” are intended to give students opportunities to catch up on assigned work, and no new instruction or assignments will be assigned for the specific grade levels. Teachers will be participating in activities outside of their normal instructional duties, and may not be available via email on these days. Secondary teachers will not be holding “office hours” on these days.

Pause Days for Elementary Buildings: Tuesdays in May (5/12, 5/19, and 5/26)
Pause Days for Middle and High School Buildings: Wednesdays in May (5/13, 5/20, and 5/27)

On each “Pause Day”, students are still required to check-in for daily attendance by logging into TigerID and clicking on the Remote Learning Check-In App. Click here for directions: https://nasd.school/StudentRemoteCheckIn.
