District Updates
Updated Back to School Plan
New language regarding face coverings and face covering breaks

The North Allegheny School District Back to School plan has been updated on our website. New language is noted in yellow.
Face Covering Breaks

Face covering breaks are permitted in the classroom. Below are guidelines on how they will be implemented.
  • If a student chooses to do so, there will be an opportunity for a scheduled face covering break during class periods, not to exceed five minutes per student. The teacher has the discretion as to when these occur during the class period. 
  • Face covering breaks will be staggered in the classroom to allow six feet between those without face coverings on.  
  • Staff may take a face covering break during this time as well, but will remain at least six feet away from the students.  
  • When possible, outdoor classroom spaces can be utilized to assist with face covering breaks.  
  • Students and staff are permitted to remove their face coverings when outdoors, including recess.  

If you have any questions regarding these guidelines, please reach out to your building principal.

Proof of COVID-19 Vaccination

To accurately determine how many students are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, we are asking parents/guardians to complete this survey. This will also help to identify students who need to quarantine after a confirmed positive case of COVID-19. This information will be kept confidential.

This survey will remain open until further notice. Please complete the survey after completing the required doses of the vaccine.

All insurances are accepted. If uninsured, the cost for children six months through 18 years of age will be $12. For adults 19 to 64 years of age with no insurance, the cost will be $32. If 65 years or older, CDC recommends a high dose of the Flu Vaccine which will not be available. Payment can be made with a credit card only; no checks or cash will be accepted. Payment is due at the time of service - no exceptions.

For the safety of our medical providers and staff, all passengers in the car must wear face coverings. Additionally, pets are not permitted in the vehicle. We will have to turn vehicles away that do not comply with these directives.
