Drop-off / Pick-up
Arrival
Students should not arrive at school before 7:15 a.m. since supervision of early arrivals is not available. Parents/Guardians should make arrangements so that their children are not dropped off at the school prior to 7:15 a.m. Buses will hold students until 7:15 a.m. if they arrive early. We ask the same thing of parents/guardians dropping off students. Students should be in their homeroom by 7:40 a.m.
The streets around NAMS are congested at drop off and pick up times. We ask that all individuals who drive students to or from school use extreme caution when driving on or near school premises and in the drop-off and pick-up areas. Drivers, walkers, and riders should always be alert for pedestrians, students on bikes, buses, and other cars. If your child walks or rides a bike to school, please be sure to review the safety tips.
- If you are dropping off or picking up your grade 6 student, please pull up to the Symmes Lobby Entrance when picking up or dropping off. Several students may be dropped off and picked up at the same time this way.
- If you are dropping off or picking up your grade 7 or 8 student, please pull up to the blue zone at the end of the new addition. Several students may be dropped off or picked up in the blue zone.
