The NA Transportation Department will then gather the posters and send them to PennDOT before the poster deadline. While parents are welcome to submit entries on their own, the district will not be notified by the state of those submissions. Therefore, we encourage students to submit their work through their school to ensure that it is counted by the district. LUNCHEON Coinciding with School Bus Safety Week (October 19–23, 2026), a luncheon will be held at the Baierl Center to honor the winning entries from North Allegheny students in each division, as selected by the NA Health & Safety Committee. Winners will be notified via email in September 2026, before the School Bus Safety Week Luncheon, which will be scheduled for a date to be announced.
