  • Students who are being dropped off and/or picked up, can do so using Pioneer Drive or the Community Pool Parking Lot.  If you have not traveled to the HS/MS before, we recommend driving the area prior to school beginning on Thursday, August 29th to view the markings and designated drop off/pick up zones.

    • As indicated in the Traffic link above, upon entering the drop off lane, parents MUST pull as far forward as possible on Pioneer Drive before allowing students to exit the vehicle.  There is no dropping off students at the entrance to the front circle.  This alleviates congestion and build up on Pioneer Drive.

    • Please note that the front circle is not an area that can be used for dropping off or picking up students.  

    • In addition, all students may only enter the building via the Main Entrance at the front of the school.  At no time is a student permitted to open up any exterior door in the building for another student or individual.

  • Following the guidelines as sort forth by the traffic signs and markings will ensure the safety of our students and allow the drop-off line to move quickly for parents/guardians.  At no time should a vehicle be left unattended in the front of the school building.  Additionally, for the safety and well-being of the children who attend OLP School, it is imperative that NPHS/NPMS parents do not use the OLP lot for dropping off or picking up students.  Also, please note that the parking lot behind the Summit Speech School at the corner of Pioneer Drive and Balcom Road is private property, as is the parking lot behind the NJ Sharing Network.  Therefore, please do not drop off or pick up your student(s) from these lots.  Families can utilize the Community Pool Parking Lot to drop off or pick up their student(s) as an additional option.  This will help provide better balance between drop off and pick up locations.  

    • Please note that beginning last school year, the Middle School moved to a Rotating and Drop Bell Schedule with times that align to the High School.  All students' first period classes will begin at 7:44 am.  

      • Last year we purchased a number of new bike racks that are located towards the Main Entrance and by the Media Center.  We continue to encourage this as an option for students.

      • The cafeteria is always available for any students who come to school early as a space to complete homework or study.  Additionally, beginning at 7:15 am each day, the Media Center is another space available for students to complete work, utilize technology, study, or print documents.

  • On inclement weather days, many of our students who might normally walk or bike to school utilize motor vehicle transportation.  This can cause traffic congestion, so please plan accordingly in terms of arrival to school each day for the start of the first period class at 7:44 am
