Penn Hills School District

PHSD encourages you to honor Martin Luther King Jr. by engaging in community service and taking time to reflect. The United Way is offering virtual forums for your family to engage in meaningful discussions on MLK Day.

As various local media have reported this morning, I will be asking our Board of School Directors on Wednesday, January 27, 2021 to reinstate our plan to shift specific grade levels within our District to the option of 4-days onsite hybrid learning.

Due to four confirmed cases of Covid-19 among PHSD affiliates associated with Penn Hills Elementary School, the Allegheny County Health Department has advised the conversion to remote learning for all PHE students during the week of January 11th...

On behalf of Penn Hills School District, I want to wish Everyone a Happy New Year.  WE remain thankful that PHSD has been able to resume pre-holiday programming, which continues to include the choice of a 2-days onsite hybrid option or a fully remote learning option.  WE also continue to offer a 4-days onsite hybrid option for ALL kindergarten students and for those students in grades 1-12 who qualify for specially designed instruction.

Based on current weather conditions and our overnight forecast, the Penn Hills School District will be converting to 100% remote learning on Thursday, December 17. No transportation services will be provided.

There will be no PHSD Transportation available today, December 16, 2020.

Clarification to Governor Wolf's recent update:

Based on the current weather forecast, Penn Hills School District is shifting to 100% remote learning for all K-12 students on Tuesday, December 1, 2020.

The Penn Hills Board of School Directors is seeking to collect letters of interest from residents of the Municipality of Penn Hills through Wednesday, December 9, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. in consideration of being appointed to Mr. Yusef Thompson, Sr.’s remaining term through the first Monday of December 2021. Letter of interest should be submitted/emailed to: Janet M. Langford, Board Secretary 260 Aster Street Pittsburgh, PA 15235 jlangf@phsd.k12.pa.us Published: 11/25/2020

am thankful to report that PHSD remains in a stable position with regard to COVID-19.  While our total case count since March 13, 2020 is now at 24 as of this moment, there are several key points to consider...

Given the record-breaking numbers of COVID-19 cases confirmed over the weekend for Allegheny County, I have alerted our Board of School Directors this morning that I am withdrawing my recommendation to combine Hybrid A and B groups to form a 4-day option...

During our weekly ZOOM meeting today, that included local Superintendents and representatives of the Allegheny County Health Department (ACHD),...

I am happy to report that our Board of School Directors has given our District Team authorization to start moving toward increased onsite instructional time for those families who want this option. *Please allow me to be very clear, however, that any/all shifts will be contingent on local conditions, which will continue to be monitored very closely.

As we prepare to move toward increased learning time onsite for those families who are interested, we continue to map out options and what that next shift might look like.

The technology department has created a document to help answer many questions, such as logging into the device, district passwords, and more... including accessing the Clever portal which is the first stop all students should make on the internet after signing in. Please take a few minutes to read it over in it's entirety.

Last night's Board action will result in the following planned activities for students and staff in the Penn Hills School District:
