Please take a moment to watch Superintendent Buchsen's video update for August 28, which includes a thank you, school update, and information from the PA Dept. of Health. We are enjoying a good start to the school year. It's been great having the kids back in the buildings, and we look forward to many successful weeks ahead! We are here to answer your questions, please reach out to our district office, elementary and/or high school. Thank you.
On Monday, August 17 PDE updated face-covering guidance for schools. With this new guidance the PA Dept. of Health "is requiring students to wear face coverings at all times while in school, even when six feet of social distancing can be achieved."
The Port Allegany School District understands that this may impact the choice your family has made to return to school or the decision to choose the online options provided by the district.
If your choice has not changed. You do not need to do anything.
If your choice has changed with this new face-covering requirement, please complete the Google form or call the elementary or high school office.
We would ask that any parent considering our online options to commit for at least the first nine weeks to the program. After the first quarter, we will permit families to re-evaluate their choice.
This will allow us to update our class rosters as we prepare for the start of the school year. Our first day of classes with students continues to be set for Wednesday, August 26 at the regular time.
This is a friendly reminder regarding directions to follow for hands free deposits. Students can place an envelope with their name and account number into a drop box in the cafeteria. For more information, please see our flyer.
We are now using a Big Teams website to help you stay updated on all of our junior high and high school athletics events. We invite you to visit this new athletics site often to stay up to date on our team schedules.
