SAMS Inclement Weather Plans

Inclement Weather Plans

In the event of inclement weather, a two-hour delay schedule may be used on in-person instruction days. Students who are scheduled to attend in person will report to school, students who are scheduled for virtual instruction will log on following the two-hour delay schedule.

Return to In-Person Learning:

On April 5th SAMS transitioned to four days in-person learning. All students who completed the survey that they wanted to return to in-person learning should report to SAMS on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays.

Please know that you may make a request to move from in-person learning to remote at any time.

Requests for any change other than the student's current placement must be made in writing to Dr. Stennett - 8th grade ([email protected]) or Dr. Howard - 7th grade ([email protected]).

During a school year that is full of ambiguity and change, Shaler Area school counselors are finding ways to connect with students with a renewed focus on their mental health.

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

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.
