ABOUT OUR SCHOOL

Pittsburgh Morrow is located in Brighton Heights on the North Side of Pittsburgh; located on two campuses. K-5 Grade students are housed in our Primary Campus located on Davis Avenue. Grades PreK, 6-8 Grade students are housed in our Intermediate Campus located on Fleming Avenue. Although students from several areas around the city attend our school, we service students primarily from Brighton Heights, Manchester, Northview Heights and Woods Run.

Pittsburgh Morrow students are taught the district adopted curriculum in the areas of reading, math, science, social studies, writing, art, music and physical education.

We are a Title I school which helps to fund additional resources to support all students. Our students are introduced to technology early via First In Math, Study Island, and Read 180, which is used at the 6th and 7th Grade levels. Individual classroom teachers conduct classes in the school computer lab to expose the students to keyboarding skills, internet research, and word processing on the computers.

Students are encouraged to excel through incentives and recognition for citizenship, honor roll and completion of the 25-Book reading requirement.

A variety of activities are offered throughout the school year including but not limited to safety patrol, Carnegie Library Outreach, intramurals, Reading is Fundamental book distribution, instrumental music, chorus, and middle grades sports. Students must have a 2.0 grade point average (GPA) and at least a satisfactory mark in all citizenship grades to participate in extracurricular activities.

Our mental health partnership with Mercy Behavioral Health allows our students to receive on-site individual and group counseling. In addition, we offer student mediation services via our school counselor. Partnership between parents and the school is encouraged and crucial to the education and development of our students. Opportunities for parental involvement include membership in the Parent Teacher Organization; parent representatives on the school’s Parent School Community Council; volunteerism; participation in our quarterly Family Fun Nights, which focus on fun reading and math activities; Take Your Father to School Day, etc.
