Dear Shaler Area Community,
As we embark on a new chapter in our district’s journey, we are excited to begin the strategic planning process for 2025-2030. With our commitment to the theme of “Engage, Empower, Excel,” we are focused on creating a vision for the future that reflects the aspirations and needs of our entire school community.
We invite you to participate in our upcoming community forums as part of this important strategic planning effort. These forums will provide a valuable opportunity for all stakeholders—parents, students, educators, and community members—to share feedback, ideas, and perspectives that will shape the future of the Shaler Area School District.
Our work will be rooted in the Portrait of a Graduate framework, which outlines the essential skills and dispositions we aim to cultivate in every student. To learn more about this important initiative, please visit our website: Shaler Area Portrait of a Graduate.
We ask for your participation in the following community forums:
- January 8, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at Scott Primary School
- April 3, 2025, from 7:00 to 8:30 pm at Scott Primary School
To confirm your attendance, please RSVP by visiting bit.ly/SASDforum. If you have any questions or need further assistance, please contact Jeanne Hohlweg, Executive Assistant to the Superintendent, hohlwegj@shalerarea.org or by phone at 412-492-1200 ext. 2801.
Your voice is critical to ensuring that our strategic plan reflects the needs and aspirations of our community. We look forward to your involvement as we work together to ensure our district continues to “Engage, Empower, and Excel.”
Thank you for your continued support of the Shaler Area School District. We look forward to seeing you at the forums and working together to create a bright future for our students.
Warm regards,
Bryan E. O’Black, Ed.D
Superintendent of Schools
