NMFA GENERAL INFORMATION
HELP YOUR CHILD SUCCEED IN SCHOOL
Attending school regularly helps children feel better about school - and themselves. Let's help our NMFA children by building the habit of a good attendance record early which will lead to success in the classroom!
School hours are: 7:30am – 2:00pm
School doors for parent pick up in the morning: 7:15am - 7:30 AM
School doors for parents pick up open in the afternoon: 2:00pm
PARENTS - DROP OFF AND PICK UP REMINDERS
All students must be signed in by an adult after 7:30 AM. Students will be marked tardy if they are arriving after 7:45 AM.
Any students being dropped off in the morning should be brought to the cul-de-sac on Helen Street until 7:30 AM. If you are needing to pick up your student who normally rides a bus, please call the office no later than 1pm to notify the front desk. They will get the message to their teacher.
For students who ride bus stops, your students must be at their assigned stop 5 minutes prior to the pick up time.
If your student is sick, please leave a message on the attendance line, utilize the attendance form on our website, or use the JMC Family App to submit attendance. As a general reminder, students will be sent home from school if they have a fever of 100 or over, they have vomited or have diarrhea. We may also call to ask that you pick your student up if they are not able to participate in class due to feeling ill. Students should be kept home until they are fever, vomit, or diarrhea free for 24 hours with no medication. Students who miss 3 or more days will need a doctors note.
Please call the front office if you are needing to speak with a staff member directly, or send an email to that staff member. During the day they may not be available to take a call directly but will call you back as soon they have a free moment.
