Allentown School District Welcome to the official page of the Allentown School District! We invite you to comment and share these celebrations of our amazing community.

Mission
The mission of the Allentown School District is to serve the diverse educational needs of each student, by igniting their passion for learning and creating an academic culture. Vision
The Allentown School District envisions a learning community that increases student achievement by cultivating positive relationships, offering rigorous and meaningful curricula, and by empowering the Allentown community. Core Values
To support students in achieving academic excellence and attaining a bright future beyond graduation, we must align our actions and mindsets in order to become a learning community committed to these core values:

Collaboration - Cultivating students, staff, families, and community engagement and recognizing that we get better together and all of our strengths are needed. Empowerment - Equipping stakeholders to help students reach their full potential by providing them with the encouragement, resources, support, and opportunities they need to excel. Innovation - Fostering innovation among our staff to design learning experiences and environments that promote a culture of curiosity, creativity, and future readiness. Integrity - Building trust and accountability through honest and transparent communication within our learning community. Respect - Creating the conditions for a positive and welcoming culture where everyone feels safe, valued, empowered, and loved. COMMUNITY GUIDELINES
The official district page is maintained by the ASD Office of Communications for the purpose of engaging with our students, families, staff, and community at large here in Allentown. This page is a space where we will post informative and important information as it relates to Allentown schools. This is also a forum to celebrate the staff and student success, and positive achievements in the arts, athletics, and academics. Please note:

• Comments will be hidden that contain vulgar or abusive language; pornography; personal attacks of any kind; offensive terms, or terms that target specific ethnic or racial groups or incite violence.
• Comments that violate Facebook’s Terms of Use, are spam, clearly “off-topic,” irrelevant, inappropriate, divulge personal student or staff information, or that promote services or products may also be hidden.
• Please be kind. Comments that insult or bully others may also be hidden.
• Be civil. We do not condone foul language. The profanity filter for this page is set to strong, so any comments with profanity or variations of profane words are automatically hidden.
• No spamming. Asking the same question or posting the same comment repeatedly on different posts or after your initial comment has been removed.
• No sales pitches or product posts.
• The Allentown School District is not responsible for user-generated content and the opinions expressed in that content do not necessarily reflect those of ASD. CONTACT US
The district social media inboxes are not monitored on a regular basis and you will likely not receive an immediate response to inquiries made in the comments of posts or in our inbox. Please make every effort to contact your child's school if you have any serious concerns about ASD. Community concerns can be directed to district staff using Let's Talk, available here: https://www.allentownsd.org/contact_us

🐝 🐄 🍎 🐑 Nothing beats a day at Ag Hall! Fourth-grade students from around the district learned all about the connections between farms, food, and animals! These hands-on lessons were tons of fun for our students, who learned from the many volunteers from The Great Allentown Fair, Lehigh County 4-H, the Pennsylvania Farm Bureau & the Great Allentown Fair Queen!

🎻🥁🎵Our partnership with Juilliard is back! Orchestra and general music students at Trexler Middle School enjoyed a visit from a guest artist this week! Thanks to this one-of-a-kind partnership, our staff receives world-class coaching and professional development from Juilliard artists, and students get to learn and play side by side with the artists during these visits! We can't wait to see what this year brings!

🇺🇸 As part of their annual Veterans Day Celebration, students at Ritter Elementary School present their "Profile of a Veteran" projects, where they interview service members and learn about their experiences in different branches and eras of military service. This 40-year tradition doesn't wait until November - students are actively interviewing veterans this week and preparing their profile projects well in advance of Veterans Day!

Exploring Impact, Wellness, and Community 👪 🏥 💙
This week, tenth-grade students from all three high schools participated in the Impact, Wellness, and Community Career Symposium, aimed at facilitating career awareness and academic motivation for participating sophomores. This event offered students direct engagement with local professionals in key sector areas, including Healthcare, Law and Public Safety, Business Management, and Human Services. Alongside panel presentations and interactive breakout sessions, students toured the Desales University campus!

Thank you to our parents, guardians, staff, students, and community partners who joined us for our School Safety Forum! Together with the Allentown Police Department, Fire Department, District Attorney, and local first responders, we engaged in meaningful dialogue to strengthen our collective safety and emergency preparedness. Safety is a shared responsibility, and building strong relationships with our community is key to creating a secure learning environment for every student. Attendees also visited a resource fair, hosted by our community partners, to learn more about the student support services available in ASD!
If you were unable to attend or didn't have a chance to take our safety survey, there is still time to share your feedback on how we can make our schools safer!
