North Allegheny Conducting Drug & Alcohol Survey of Secondary Students

During the month of May, the North Allegheny School District will give its second annual comprehensive drug and alcohol survey to students in grades 6-12.

The survey will be administered electronically under the direction of the Health and Physical Education staff and Student Assistance Coordinators. Student participation in this survey will be both voluntary and anonymous.

Parents and/or students may decline participation in the survey.

A written copy of the survey is available now for parents to preview in each of the secondary building’s main offices.

Parents who wish to exempt their son/daughter from participation in the survey should provide written notice to the principal of the student’s school.

The results of the survey will help the District continue to improve its multi-faceted programs of prevention and outreach for those students who may be engaging in or considering behavior that would endanger the health, safety, and welfare of themselves or others.

The information gathered from the survey will also assist the District to enhance a systematic, comprehensive, and effective mechanism for students, parents, and school staff that addresses the realities of alcohol and other drug abuse, as well as other critical issues among adolescents that interfere with learning.

Please direct any questions you may have to the Student Assistance Office at (412) 369-5466.
