Dropping Off and Picking Up (Updated August 2022):

It is our goal to create the safest experience for the students as they are dropped off and picked up each day. 

This visual illustrates the flow of traffic into the NCCE/MS parking lot and through the orange cone drop-off area. We ask you to please keep a few things in mind when you are dropping off in the morning.

• Please be patient and follow the cones.
• When you get to the last walkway #5, turn left, keeping the walkway to the right of your vehicle. You can continue toward the school, turn left at the sidewalk and move forward until you get to walkway #2, by the last traffic cone. This will allow for more vehicles to line up behind you to let their students out.
• Once you come to a stop along walkway #5 or in front of the school, your student should exit your vehichle and stay in the walkway or on the sidewalk. 
• Encourage your students to exit the vehicle on the right, if possible.
• Please do not pass cars that are dropping off students, as some of them might have to exit their car on the left and then walk around the car.
• This drop off applies to all of the grade levels, Y5 through 8th grade.
• You are also welcome to park in the lot if you chose to walk your child to the sidewalk, using a walkway. 

*If your family has 6th, 7th or 8th graders - you may use the Montessori drop off and have your students dropped off along the 5th walkway which will be on your right as you follow the traffic flow on the way out of the parking lot. This will help alleviate some traffic in the main parking lot.

Montessori Preschool parents please use State Street to enter and exit the parking lot. You may not cross the walkways in front of the school to leave. Make a loop and leave by the Parish Office to go back to State Street. Please follow the traffic flow on the diagram.



In the afternoon, please pull into the lot and go to the furthest available walkway. Please do not park your vehicle in the entrance to the parking lot or stop at the entrance, this prohibits other cars from proceeding to line up along lanes 3-6. We ask that you stay in your car and let your student come to you, as there are crossing guards to help our students.

Adhering to these procedures will promote the safety and efficiency of the morning drop-off and dismissal participation, as well as minimize surrounding street traffic impact.
