North Hills Students To Be Allowed Into Schools

ROSS TOWNSHIP, PA — North Hills School District has established a schedule to allow students back into schools during the first week in June. They'll be admitted into buildings to return materials including textbooks, library books and iPads, and pick up personal belongings and items left at school when the district closed in March.

Middle school and high school students will enter their buildings alone. Elementary students will be allowed to enter with one parent-guardian or a designated adult. Children who do not attend the school will not be admitted; that includes siblings. Everyone must be wearing a mask and maintain a safe social distance at all times.
