Hello NASD Families and Staff,

We want to make you aware of a non-emergency traffic situation near Nazareth Area High School.

An electric pole at the corner of Liberty Street and the NAHS access road is experiencing a minor electrical arcing issue. Fire Police and Upper Nazareth Police were on the scene, and the electrical company has been notified and will be making the necessary repairs.

As a precaution, all buses are being temporarily detoured from Liberty Street. There is no impact to student or staff safety, and school operations continue as normal.

We appreciate your patience and cooperation while this is addressed.

Thank you,
Dr. Resende

Dear Families,

We want to make you aware that several road closures on Jacobsburg Road and Young Road are preventing some school buses from safely reaching their assigned stops. If your child’s bus stop is affected by these closures and you are able to safely transport your student to school, we kindly ask that you do so.

If students arrive late due to these transportation issues, they should report directly to the main office of their school building upon arrival.

If you are unable to provide transportation, please contact the Transportation Office at 610-759-1170, ext. 1177, so we can assist you as needed.

Thank you for your flexibility and partnership as we navigate these challenging road conditions. Safety comes first.

Sincerely,
Dr. Resende

Ms. Stout’s 9th grade students in Intro to Family and Consumer Sciences partnered with first grade classes taught by Mrs. Primerano and Miss Freed at Shafer for a collaborative Monster Project. The first graders designed their own monsters, and the high school students used those drawings to sew stuffed versions and write matching stories. The groups recently met so the 9th graders could deliver the handmade monsters and read the stories aloud, creating a fun and meaningful cross-grade experience.

Parents, I apologize for the delay in the parent pick up line today. Our car number system crashed and we weren't able to have students wait for parents as they pulled up. Have a great weekend!
