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.

TECHNOLOGY SAFETY
As we prepare for the new school year, click here to learn how the district helps keep your student safe when using school devices.
NASD iPads are issued to students in grades K–8. Devices are issued with pre-loaded applications and additional apps that can be downloaded for use in the classroom.
-
The pre-loaded applications are considered to be foundational and necessary for the day-to-day instructional needs and operation of schools.

The full Apple App Store is not accessible from district-issued iPads. Only applications that are considered educationally beneficial have been made available through the Self-Service app on your student's device.
- If there is an application that you would like to opt-out of on behalf of your student, please email servicedesk@northallegheny.org to submit a request for the app to be removed by NASD Tech Services.
