This year students will celebrate an in-person Field Day! Each grade level will report to different events/activities including favorites from HPE, inflatables, and Snow Cones (Thank you, PFA). The activities will be held over several days from June 2-4. The students will participate during their scheduled special area class time. All students will be able to have some grade-level fun and enjoy Field Day. Students should plan to wear tennis shoes all three days to participate in Field Day. Thank you to Miss Martin, Mr. Yeakel, Mrs. Kushner, the PFA, and all the special area teachers for planning some great activities for our students.

The Back to School Planning Committee continues to meet twice monthly to plan for the 2021-2022 school year. You can review recaps of these meetings and discussion of next steps. For the 2021-2022 school year, the North Allegheny School District will offer five days of in-person learning for all students K-12. Families will still have the option to continue virtual learning through NA Cyber Academy.

While the 2021-2022 school year may be less restricted, returning to school will still require a great deal of planning, communication, collaboration, and flexibility from our staff, students, and parents/guardians. The District will continue to follow local, Commonwealth, and national guidance, which may require our plans to change.

A final 2021-2022 Back to School plan will be shared in June 2021.

Elementary students have the exciting opportunity to begin instruction on a band (rising 4th or 5th Grader) or orchestra (rising 3rd, 4th, or 5th Grader) instrument next school year. This is the first step of a student’s participation in one of Western Pennsylvania’s most award-winning music programs with a proud legacy of generations of students learning to make music.

You can find more information about Elementary Band & Orchestra as well as register your child for Band or Orchestra next school year at these links:

If your child will be a returning band/orchestra student, they DO NOT need to re-register for next school year.

In honor of Mental Health Awareness Month this May, select staff members have volunteered to share their expertise, experiences, and tips for normalizing discussions around mental health. Be on the lookout for weekly updates throughout May and help us educate, support, and fight the stigma for all. To access materials for Week 4, “A Work in Progress," visit our Mental Health and Wellness website.
