On Campus Parking
Off Campus Park & Walk
Recently, we’ve seen an increase in families using nearby businesses to park and walk their children over to campus. Please take a moment to review the following important reminders:
-
Parking in surrounding business lots is strictly prohibited, even for short periods. These businesses have the right to tow vehicles at the owner's expense.
-
As always, jumping across the rock stream within the south park is prohibited. Please utilize either of the 2 bridges recently installed to safely cross the stream, instead of jumping across.
-
The ponds within the park are not safe for human contact. Fishing, throwing objects into the water of either the north or the south pond, venturing off the designated walking paths and down into the pond areas or close to the water’s edge is strictly prohibited. For everyone’s safety, children and parents must remain on the path at all times.
-
To discourage lingering in the area, the gates leading to the park will be locked immediately following afternoon dismissal.
-
The Park Central Owners Association has generously allowed families to park along Indian Mound Road during drop-off and pick-up, as long as all standard street parking laws are followed. Please do not double park, block driveways, or obstruct traffic.
Maintaining a positive relationship with the Park Central Owners Association and neighboring businesses is essential and is a strong desire of all parties. If we are unable to do so, we may be asked to discourage the use of the park area altogether.
Your partnership helps us keep students safe and be good neighbors. Thank you for your attention and cooperation—we’re looking forward to a great year ahead!

School Dismissal Manager (SDM)
Sibling Pick-Up
At NYOS, we are fortunate to have siblings attending our school on the same campus, providing a special privilege for our NYOS families. High School students must proceed to the Elementary pick-up location immediately upon being dismissed from school. It is crucial that all siblings are picked up on time to uphold this privilege for everyone. Students will use the SDM app to pick up their sibling. They should already have an SDM account and be designated as the pick-up person for the day.
For safety reasons, only students 8th grade and above can pick up elementary students.
High School students 8th grade and above should pick up siblings from the side of the Elementary building (south side) by the new playscape BEFORE 4:10 PM (1:00 PM on Friday).
