• Building-Level Newsletters

    The North Allegheny School District strives to improve the efficiency of communication with and access to information for parents/guardians. Throughout the 2021-2022 school year, the District will send a building-specific email newsletter every Friday evening (except scheduled holiday breaks) to parents/guardians. This email will highlight the top happenings at each building, upcoming important dates, District information, and links to community flyers. Parents/guardians will only receive emails from their student’s building.

    Parent/guardian email addresses are collected at the time of registration and are used to share District and building-level communications, and to provide updates from the District’s online gradebook and student information system. It is important for parents/guardians to update any changes in their email address by contacting the building secretary.

    Newsletter Archive

    The weekly emails will be archived on the District website at https://www.northallegheny.org/Page/30452. At the beginning of each school week by 11:30 a.m., the archive will be updated to include the email sent the previous Friday. All emails from the 2021-22 school year will be posted to the archive and kept there for the entirety of the school year.

    Community Organizations

    The North Allegheny School District often receives requests for the distribution of athletics and approved non-profit community organization digital flyers.

This email will highlight the top happenings at each building, upcoming important dates, District information, and links to community flyers posted on the District website.

    All requests for community flyers to be included in this newsletter must be submitted via email only at flyers@northallegheny.org. Flyers will only be posted and removed from the District website on Friday. Flyers will be posted on the NASD website at www.northallegheny.org/Page/30690.
