A child’s early years are a key time of mental and emotional development, as they form skills that will help them to succeed in school—and beyond. That is why the Shaler Area School District is so pleased that preschool programs are offered at primary schools in our district free of charge to qualifying families.  

We can’t wait to welcome the class of 2036! It’s time to register for kindergarten and begin your child’s educational journey.  

Shaler Area is proud to announce Marzolf Primary was recognized as a 2023 Niche Standout Elementary School and ranked #4 in the state and #2 in the Pittsburgh area.  

We love sharing our tracks with members of the community. Because we must give priority to our athletes, tracks at the high school and middle school are closed weekdays from 2:30–9:00 p.m.  for athletic practices and games. Public use of track is not permitted with students on-site.  

Shaler Area is proud to announce all four of its primary schools are ranked among the top elementary schools in Pennsylvania by the U.S. News & World Report.  

Shaler Area School District updated its School Lunch/Breakfast Program — Charged Meal Policy (No. 808.1) to establish fair and consistent rules regarding charges, allow the food service department to collect monies due for meal service provided, and build positive and clear communication between the food service, district staff, and community regarding these guidelines.
