Hello Faculty and Staff,

Thank you to all of our chaperones and volunteers that are helping out with the Junior Prom. The students should have a beautiful evening!

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
REMINDER: MORNING TRAFFIC PATTERN
I was asked to share a reminder of the morning traffic pattern to staff and families. Please see below:
Arrival and Parking (Students Enter)
Arrival procedures will be similar to traditional years. Cars will continue to enter at Osgood Street in a single file. Student drop-off will occur between 7:00 a. m. and 7:35 a. m. A warning bell will ring at 7:35 a. m. and the first period will begin at 7:40 a. m.
NAHS will remain one way around the entire high school. The one exception is that our student drivers are able to take a left turn by Section A where cars exit right to return to Osgood Street.
If dropping off in the Track Side Parking Lot, please do not drop off in the tier closest to the building. We have buses that use that tier to drop off students that require accessibility close to NAHS. Please use one of the other three options.
To access the gate to take a right turn by section F, drivers need to stay in the right lane and not enter the faculty lot by section D. Drop-offs must occur by the Vietnam Memorial in section E.
For the safety of all drivers, students and staff, please drive slowly around campus, especially in slippery weather conditions. We do not want anyone getting hit or feeling unsafe in our lot. Please drive safely and responsibly and allow walkers to access the crosswalks.
