Parent/Family Resources

The Nazareth Area School District strives to foster collaborative relationships with parents and families.  We understand that working as a team is a critical component of student success.  Parents and families are their children's first teachers and offer invaluable information to the school team.

We encourage parents and families to maintain open lines of communication with teachers.  Parents and families who have concerns about programming should first attempt to resolve the issue with the student's classroom teacher, and then reach out to the building administration and/or Director of Special & Alternative Education.  Should you have questions regarding the IEP process, we encourage you to contact your child’s case manager.
