Schedules & Early Pick-Up

Doors open for Elementary students beginning at 7:15am. Doors open for Secondary students at 7:45am. There is no staff supervision available for students before these times.

It is the responsibility of all parents/guardians to ensure that students are picked up from school no later than 15 minutes past dismissal. Repeated failure to adhere to arrival and dismissal times will result in a conference with your campus administrator to create a plan for your child’s safety and well being.

Students may only remain on campus before or after school if they are participating in a supervised activity or if they are enrolled in on-site, after-school care program. To learn more about afterschool care options for students check out our After-School Programs page.

Picking Up Your Student

Standard Pick-Up

  • Students must be picked up by the time listed above unless they are involved in a supervised after-school program.

  • Students must be picked up no later than 15 minutes past dismissal. NYOS is unable to provide staff supervision for students outside of supervised after-school programming that students are registered for.

Early Pick-Up

  • Check-Out Locations:

    • Elementary student only: Building 1, Reception
    • Both Elementary and Secondary students: Building 1, Reception
    • Secondary student only: Building 2, Reception

  • If you need to pick up your student early, please pick them up no later than the times listed above. If you arrive after, you will need to wait in one of our regular dismissal lines in order to collect your student. This allows us to reduce front desk traffic at the end of the school day and ensures that we're able to focus on a safe and efficient dismissal.

  • Please plan for a minimum of 15 minutes to pickup your student from our front desk. Many times we are calling students from other buildings. This means it can take some time to get your student with their belonging to the front office and we do not want you to be delayed.
