Dear Parent/Guardian:
As a reminder, the Yough School District has the following days off during the next month. Please mark your calendars accordingly.
November 24-28 Thanksgiving Holiday Break
December 23-January 3 Winter Holiday Break
As the winter months approach, we will use our normal means of calling school delays or cancellations. Parents will be notified through our Alert Now message system, the district website, and/or through television and radio on KDKA, WPXI, WTAE, or Froggy FM.
On the rare occasion that school must be cancelled or dismissed early due to an unexpected situation such as severe weather conditions, broken water or gas lines, or other unforeseeable issues, we ask that you speak with your children and have your own emergency plan. Be sure your children know where to go in case you are not home in an emergency situation.
As a district, we will use our Alert Now system of notification for these types of emergencies. Make certain that your child’s school has the most up to date contact information for you as the parent or guardian so our Alert Now system can be utilized effectively.
Again, we thank you for your continued support of our schools and community. We wish you a safe, healthy, and happy holiday season and look forward to 2012.
Yours in education,
Dr. Janet Sardon
Superintendent of Schools
Yough School District

Documentation of age can be either a birth certificate, a baptismal certificate, a certified transcript of birth or a notarized statement.
Exceptions to the above-stated age requirements maybe requested. Exceptions will be granted at the discretion of the district based upon information received by the district.
