May 1, 2025, 3:43 p.m. - UPDATE

Allegheny Valley Families:
We are happy to announce that Acmetonia Elementary School has regained power. Therefore, tomorrow - Friday, May 2 - the District will return to a regular schedule for both buildings. However, we understand that parts of the District remain without power at their homes and businesses. We do hope to see students at school, where they can get breakfast and lunch, charge their devices (and their phones), and spend the day with friends and teachers. Flexibility for all continues to be the key at this time, and the schools are ready and willing to work with our families and provide support where needed. We will also be working with families who need some adaptations at this time. Administrators will continue to monitor the ongoing situation, but encourage you to reach out if you should have questions or concerns. Staff is responding to email and the phone lines are working. We appreciate your patience as we weather this storm together. The District looks forward to seeing everyone in their classrooms tomorrow!

ALICE

ALICE

The Allegheny Valley School District’s Emergency Management Plan teaches responses to many varied crisis situations that could occur throughout the District. The goal is to put in place options that can be used for different circumstances. Evacuation, lockdown, and other procedures are explained and reviewed so that teachers and students can make the best possible decisions for their safety in the event of an emergency.

The purpose of ALICE (Alert, Lockdown, Inform, Counter, Evaluate) training is to prepare individuals to handle the threat of an armed intruder. ALICE teaches individuals to participate in their own security, while leading others to safety. Resources are utilized so that procedures can be taught in an age-appropriate environment.
