Communication
The district mostly communicates through email, northallegheny.org websites, and our online student information system, PowerSchool. PowerSchool is the system you used during registration and the username/password created will be your log in to see information about your student once school starts. Within PowerSchool you will find announcements, grades, attendance, etc.
SchoolMessenger is a tool utilized by the district to communicate such information as attendance notifications, school delays/cancellations, information about serious health-related issues, or a crisis response. Please take a moment to set your preferences.
Each building also provides communication on events and happenings within each building. You will receive communication via email specific to the building your student attends.
School Supplies
Supplies are specific to grade/homeroom teacher. You may check your building’s website in August for the upcoming year for more information.
TigerID
TigerID is North Allegheny's single sign-on (SSO) platform which allows users to securely authenticate with multiple applications and websites with just a single username and password. TigerIDs are distributed from Technology Services to all students and parents/guardians.
Parents/Guardians after you receive an email from noreply-tigerid@northallegheny.org letting you know that your TigerID is ready to claim, you can follow the instructions on this webpage for setup: servicedesk.northallegheny.org/support/solutions/articles/5000082840
Once you have set up your TigerID account, please use TigerID to access the Tyler Parent Portal from that point onward, as the direct Tyler login you have used for registration up to this point is not supported after registration is complete.
