Information from Dr. Howard regarding Health and Safety during Hybrid Instruction

As we transition to the hybrid instruction model, we want to ensure the health and safety of our students and staff.

Spring Sports Physicals for all students (Grades 7-12) will be held on February 15, 2021 at the High School. The PIAA requires one comprehensive physical per year for elibigility to participate in interscholastic athletics.

Shaler Area students will remain in virtual instruction through January 15, 2021. Monday, January 18, is a scheduled in-service day for teachers, and there will be no school for students. We will return to hybrid instruction on Tuesday, January 19, for Cohort A and Thursday, January 21, 2021 for Cohort B.

Due to the increasing rise of community transmission rates of COVID-19 in Allegheny County, the district will be transitioning to virtual instruction for a three-week period beginning on Monday, November 23. The grab-n-go breakfast and lunch program will continue to provide meals for students while the district is in the 100% virtual model at three pick-up locations.

If you have a student who is having an issue with their device, the Technology Department will be offering in-person tech support at the Central Office Board Room during remote learning.
