Drop-Off & Pick-Up Safety Reminders
To ensure the safety of our students and the efficiency of our drop-off and pick-up process, please keep the following guidelines in mind:
Stay off your cell phone while in the drop-off/pick-up line for everyone's safety.
Students should exit independently on the sidewalk side of the car.
If you need to assist your child, please park in a designated parking spot rather than stopping in the line.
Keep the line moving by following the directions of staff.
For pick-up, place your child's name visibly in the car window to help expedite the process.
Please do not drop off or pick up your child while stopped in the second lane of the parking lot off Arlington Drive.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our students safe and our procedures running smoothly!

Cell Phone Policy Reminder:
NMUSD Mobile Communication Devices Board Policy (BP 5131.8) was adopted on October 24, 2023, to create a more conducive learning environment that promotes academic focus and engagement and encourages positive social interactions among students. Here is a reminder of expectations for elementary-age students.
Students may not use cell phones, smartphones, smartwatches, or other mobile communication devices during the instructional day. Devices must be turned off and placed out of sight during the school day. Students who need to call parents may use phones located in the administrative office.
If a student is caught on their device, they will receive a warning. In the event of a recurrence, the device will be confiscated and held in the office until the end of the school day, at which point the student can retrieve it.
