Welcome Back!
We are so excited to see students on Wednesday, August 23, as we welcome them back to a new school year. To make sure we have a great first week, please review these important reminders.
Arrival & Dismissal: Safety is Paramount.
Walkers: there will be additional students walking to and from school this school year. Please note, there will be a crossing guard at Old New Market Rd. and Quaker Way to help students cross the street. The crossing guard will be at this intersection from 7:30-9:30AM and 3:00-4:00PM. Please be mindful and aware of the increased foot traffic around our school and community.
Bus Riders: bus information is posted at https://www.fcps.org/transportation. Please check as the bus route may have changed from last year. If your student rides a bus, please have them write their bus number down so that they don't forget.
Car Riders: Zones for drop off and pick up will be located outside of the cafeteria entrance (lower left-side of the building). There will be signs at the start and the end of the drop off zones. In order to avoid longer lines, please follow the directions of staff in this zone and only drop off/ pick up your student once you come to a complete stop in the zone. We will have 3 cars drop off/ pick up students at a time.
Cars are expected to enter the NMMS main entrance and follow the road down toward the cafeteria entrance.
Please check the map below to see the student drop off zone and directions for cars to enter and exit NMMS parking lot.

Please be prepared for drop-off/pick-up delays during the first week.
Please do not respond to this FOF. Responses are not monitored. Thank you.
