Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct is to ensure a healthy and productive learning environment in our schools so that the maximum potential for learning can exist. The Code of Conduct is communicated to students by their principals and teachers. 

Communications

Effective and consistent communication is a vital part of the District’s relationship with the public. The North Allegheny Communications Department keeps the NASD community informed through various channels. 

District Newsletters

Every Friday at 5:00 p.m. during the school year, the District emails parents/guardians a newsletter. This email includes a link to important information from your student’s school, as well as news from the District. An archive of these emails can be found on our website.

Free and Reduced Lunches

Health Services

On the Health Services section of our website, you can find commonly used forms for medications, physicals, and dental exams.

For building specific questions, our Health Services website includes key contact information for your student’s school.

Too Sick for School?

Please keep your students home when they are sick. Often times a sick student does not have the energy needed to complete the school day and this can put their classmates at risk of becoming ill. Please follow the District's 24-hour rule: Keep your student home 24 hours after their last fever without using any fever-reducing medications and 24 hours from the last episode of vomiting/diarrhea.

Individuals are not permitted to use our school campuses and athletic facilities for casual pedestrian traffic, dog or animal walking, bike riding, and other activities.

A safe and welcoming school is the responsibility of all of us.

NASD participates in Safe2Say Something (S2SS) and offers a tipline.  A Safe2Say Something tip can be reported here.
