NMS Morning Arrival and Departure

NMS Student Arrival and Departure 

To help keep traffic moving safely and efficiently during both morning arrival and afternoon dismissal, please follow the traffic pattern shown on the NMS arrival and departure map. 

Front Circle — Restricted Access

The front circle is reserved for:

• Students requiring handicap or temporary-injury access

• Minibuses and other designated student transportation

• Police, fire, and emergency vehicle access

Please do not use the front circle for general student drop-off or pick-up.

When vehicles enter and exit the front circle for regular drop-off, it effectively creates an additional four-way stop inside the campus entrance. This slows traffic leaving the school and can cause vehicles to back up onto Route 123/West Main Street.

Please follow the traffic pattern shown on the map and use the designated gym-side student drop-off area. Thank you for helping us keep arrival safe and moving efficiently.

General Drop Off 

When arriving for morning drop-off, please pull forward as far as possible toward the gym before stopping. Once your vehicle is stopped along the sidewalk, students may exit from the passenger/right side of the vehicle. You do not need to wait until you are the first car in line before allowing your child to get out.

Our goal is to have approximately seven to eight vehicles unloading at the same time during our busiest arrival period. Pulling forward and using the entire drop-off area will help keep traffic moving while maintaining a safe environment for students.
