North Olmsted High School Updates
September 8th, 2023
Principal's Message
Hello NOHS Families,
As we begin a short week, please note that there will be no school on Friday, March 14th, due to Teacher Professional Development. Additionally, Juniors will take the ACT on Wednesday, March 12th, and all 9th, 10th, and 12th-grade students will not have school that day. Juniors must report to their testing location by 8:30 AM.
Thursday, March 13th, marks the end of the 3rd grading period. Students and parents, please check PowerSchool and stay in touch with teachers to ensure a strong finish to the quarter.
Last Wednesday, we celebrated over 400 students with outstanding attendance at a Bingo event featuring music, guest announcers, treats, and prizes. A big thank you to Eagles Unite PTA, Amy Rutledge, Noelle Ostrowski, and Karl Roshong for organizing this fantastic event!
I also encourage you to read about JuJu’s Dino Race, a special event honoring Julian Myles Wood. This initiative turns a tragic loss into something positive for our school community by supporting a senior scholarship. Students interested in helping with the 5K fundraiser can reach out to me for more information.

The attendance secretary will enter the partial absence if your student is leaving early and create a release slip for your student.
The slip acts as their pass for the teacher and security.
If you are picking up your child, you, the parent, do NOT need to come into the school building if you have called ahead of time to release your student early. Your student can meet you outside.
If the student is walking or has their own transportation, they can leave with their release slip.

Student drivers, please enter and exit through Burns Rd. or Revere to alleviate traffic issues before and after school. Also, make sure to go to the link below to purchase your parking permit. ALL STUDENTS MUST HAVE A PARKING PERMIT AND MUST PARK IN THE STUDENT PARKING LOT.

Traffic Pattern for AM Drop-Off
Thank you for your continued support and cooperation in improving the morning drop-off traffic flow. To help ensure a smooth process, please follow these guidelines:
- Use the outside lanes to drop off your student(s).
- After drop-off near the main entrance, immediately move forward to the PAC stop sign to allow others to drop off efficiently.
- Cars will merge before the stop sign and must turn RIGHT at the PAC stop sign.
- This route will guide traffic around the back of the stadium. From there, you may exit the campus via Burns or Revere or continue wrapping around the stadium to exit via Middle School Drive onto Butternut.
- Please avoid cutting through the brick school bus lane to help maintain a steady traffic flow and prevent congestion.
For further clarification, please refer to the attached visual representation of the traffic pattern.
Thank you for your cooperation!
