There is no better time than now to focus our direction toward the future. North Allegheny School District is in the process of creating a Strategic and Comprehensive Plan. This plan will serve as a roadmap for the District’s educational and operational priorities for the next decade.

During March we will hold virtual focus groups co-hosted by NASD parent/community groups and the District. These sessions are open to anyone. Staff- and student-specific sessions will also be held during the month of March and information will be shared with those groups separately.

Full details, including links to sign up for focus group sessions, were sent in an email on February 7.

As of February 4, NASD has utilized all of our built-in snow days. All subsequent snow days will be asynchronous Flexible Instruction Days (FID). On these days students will complete learning activities and assignments provided by their teachers at home on a day that otherwise would have been canceled. Flexible Instruction Day Guidelines can be found here.

In January 2022, North Allegheny School District Technology Services developed tools for the District to streamline and manage COVID-19 case investigation internally.

Jump around! This March, all seven of NASD's elementary schools will participate in “Jump for the Hills!” a jump rope fundraiser benefiting North Hills Community Outreach (NHCO) that is organized by the Elementary Physical Education Department. Last year, students raised $46,599.10 for NHCO’s programs and services. For more information, to register, or to donate, visit. www.northallegheny.org/jump.

According to CDC guidelines, students who are fully vaccinated are not required to quarantine if they are considered a close contact with a positive COVID-19 case. The main goal of this school year is to maintain in-person learning as much as possible.

NASD is continually updating its records of students and staff who are fully vaccinated. Please submit a copy of the vaccine card to your school nurse.

Our partners at Metz Culinary Management highlight a different fruit or vegetable each month as part of its Nutritious Friends program. This month, students will learn more about tangerines and have an opportunity to sample the fruit! The USDA continues to provide free meals for all students through the 2021-2022 school year. A free meal includes an entree, fruit(s), vegetable(s), and milk.
