IMS students and staff took part in "Proud to be Ingomar Day" on September 2. Proud to be Ingomar Day is an annual opportunity to welcome all students to the start of another positive school year highlighting the various academic and extracurricular opportunities that WE-MS offers! It is also an exciting way for students to build strong connections with peers and participate in team-based activities celebrating learning together!

Just like the four key directions on a compass (N-E-S-W), our Strategic and Comprehensive is guided by four key areas: the North Allegheny Experience, Engagement, Support Services, and a Welcoming Environment.

For the next four weeks, we will spotlight the goal of a strategic focus area in the 2022-2029 Strategic & Comprehensive Plan. This week we will feature Support Services.

Support Services

The NASD community encompasses many different people and perspectives. When we come together with a shared goal of a student-centered school District, we will meet the needs of all students and their families. 

To help our students and staff achieve their greatest potential, we must create and foster a positive, supportive environment. Each one of our students is unique and will be successful with the appropriate support. North Allegheny is committed to offering personalized support to help our students meet academic and personal goals. Our greatest asset at North Allegheny is our people and we are committed to helping our staff reach their full potential by supporting and developing our employees. Fiscal responsibility, transparency, and accountability are important to ensure our community is aware of how public dollars are spent to meet the needs of our students and staff, while investing in their growth.

The full 2022-2029 Strategic & Comprehensive plan, with action steps, can be found on our website. 

The North Allegheny Board of School Directors will vote to approve the Strategic and Comprehensive Plan at the September 21, 2022 meeting. Information about NASD Board of Directors Meetings can be found on our website.

While reviewing the plan, you may have questions or would like to share your thoughts. Please send feedback by September 18, 2022, to [email protected].

Community Connections - Help Students Own Their Financial Future

Wednesday, September 28, 6:30-8:00 p.m.

NAI Auditorium

We invite parents/guardians and students to join us for an interactive investment education and financial planning workshop with Gene Natali, co-founder and CEO of Troutwood, a financial technology company founded out of the Carnegie Mellon University Swartz Center. 

The combination of student loan debt, quickly changing retirement plan types, and investment accessibility makes this conversation imperative. All attendees will have the opportunity to build and leave with a working "personal" financial plan that considers their unique college and/or career interests.

Visit our website to ask a question or RSVP.

Publishing Student Works and Photographs/Videos on the Internet

If you do not want your student's recording, picture, or video displayed on the North Allegheny School District’s website or in any other District or school/classroom-based publication/communication/social media during the school year, please send a written request to the main office at your student's school by Friday, September 30, 2022.

National Suicide Prevention Week

September 5-11

Next week is National Suicide Prevention Week. Beginning July 16, 2022, 988 has been designated as the new three-digit dialing code that will route callers to the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline (formerly called the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline).

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline offers 24/7 access to trained counselors who can help people experiencing mental health-related distress. Individuals experiencing a mental health crisis can now call or text a three-digit number, 988, to reach the 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline and connect with mental health professionals trained to respond to such emergencies. Individuals can also connect to the Lifeline via chat at https://988lifeline.org.

Tiger Nation: Responsible Behavior at Athletic Events 

Elementary Students Must Be Accompanied By An Adult At Athletic Events

There is No I in Team - Elementary Students Must Be Accompanied By An Adult

Be A Good Sport - Show Positive, Respectful Behavior

• Please encourage your student(s) to show good sportsmanship. 
• Throwing items in/from the stands or onto the field will not be tolerated. 
• Unruly or inappropriate behavior and/or language may be deemed grounds for dismissal from the event. 

Together We Win! - Help NA Create a Welcoming Environment
