Dear NASD Families,

Thank you for your patience and flexibility as we continue to respond to today’s power outage impacting Lower Nazareth Elementary School (LNES).

For LNES families and staff, we will be pivoting to Zoom parent-teacher conferences today, Tuesday, March 17th, for those who have power and are able to participate. LNES teachers will be reaching out directly with more information, including Zoom links and options to either meet today or reschedule your conference for another day and time if needed.

For all other schools (K–12), parent-teacher conferences will continue as originally scheduled.

Given that today’s closure at LNES was the result of an emergency power outage, the Nazareth Area School District will be petitioning the Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) to excuse this instructional day. As a result, today will not need to be made up by students or staff.

We appreciate your understanding as we navigate this unexpected situation and work to support our students, families, and staff.

Be well,
Dr. Resende

Nazareth High School's CIT acceptance ceremony! Congratulations to our next group of students headed to CIT next year! What a fantastic opportunity for all of you!

Superintendent Dr. Resende had a blast hosting her second Student Superintendent Advisory meeting at the middle and high schools! 🏫 The energy was high as students dove into the world of Artificial Intelligence, exploring how it’s shaping our lives 🌍, transforming our schools 📚, and sharing their own honest thoughts on the future of tech! 💡

It was an amazing session full of curiosity, great conversation, and forward-thinking ideas! 🗣️👏

🎸 It’s Systematic. It’s Hydromatic. It’s GREASE! ⚡️
