Top 5 Things You Need to Know in ASD
Welcome Back, Staff!
This week, our teachers and support staff returned to classrooms to make final preparations for students and participate in professional development.

Welcome back staff, we thank you for all you do each day to positively impact our students!

School starts for students on Tuesday, September 7!
Opening of Schools Information
Looking for Back to School Info?

The ASD website has been updated with a new hub of information for staff, students, and families this fall.

Information for in-person learning and Virtual Campus is now available.

These pages will be updated frequently as we approach the start of school. Please share with families!
Back to School Immunization Clinics

The state of Pennsylvania maintains that all students must be compliant with state-mandated vaccines in order to attend school.

This also applies to students who will be attending school virtually.

Students who are not up-to-date with state-required vaccines may be excluded from school beginning Tuesday, September 14, 2021.

The next clinic to help ASD students get caught up will take place on September 9 at Dieruff HS.
ASD Wellness App
This fall, all ASD staff, and secondary students will be expected to use the ASD Wellness App to screen for symptoms of COVID-19 each day before coming to school.

Once you download the app, use your regular ASD student ID & password to log in, and then enable notifications.

NEW FOR STAFF: ASD staff can also upload a copy of their vaccination card into the ASD Wellness App to help determine if staff or students need to quarantine if exposed.
ESSER Allocation Planning & Implementation
Last week, the ASD board reviewed the district’s plan for ESSER funding!

This one-time influx of federal dollars provides ASD the opportunity to help safely reopen and sustain the safe operation of schools and address the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our students. 

These funds give us the opportunity to work together as a community to come back stronger than ever for our Allentown students. 

Your voice matters! ASD is now collecting public comments on the plan.
