Secondary Schedule & Drop-Off/Pick-Up Procedures
Please refer to the following schedule for school day start and end times for the 21-22 school year. Please note that start and end times can vary slightly by grade level.
Doors open for Secondary students beginning at 7:45 AM. Optional tutoring is provided for Secondary students on weekday mornings from 7:45 to 8:15 AM.
Standard Pickup Times:
- For Secondary, on Monday-Thursday, the school day ends at 4:00 PM and on Friday, the school day ends at 12:45 PM.
- For those who are not registered for after-school programs, NYOS is unable to provide childcare after school so please remember to pickup your student as soon as the school day ends.
Picking Up Your Student Early:
- If you need to pickup your student early, please pick them up at least 30 minutes before your student's school day ends. If you arrive within 30 minutes of the school day ending, 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.
- If you are picking up your student early for an appointment, you can help NYOS by emailing the front desk ahead of time to let us know. Please email the front desk at reception@nyos.org and include the full name of your student, the time we can expect you, and what time we should have your student ready for pickup.
- 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.
A/B Schedule for the 21-22 School Year
Drop Off and Pick Up: Grades PreK-5th
Parents will follow the flow of cars to navigate our new campus facility. Drop-off and pick-up will take place ONLY at the north side of our Elementary building. Once exiting our campus, cars must take a RIGHT TURN ONLY at N Lamar Blvd. Please use the following map as a guide:

NYOS appreciates the feedback that we received last week from our families regarding locking gates around our Elementary and Middle School Buildings. After reviewing feedback and concerns, NYOS has determined that three campus gates will be locked along the back fence and pond, but we will still provide access to our Elementary and Middle School Buildings via our playground:
Drop Off and Pick Up: 6th-12th
- BOTH middle school and high school families will enter our high school campus via Yager Ln.
- Upon entering:
- Middle school families will turn left and 6th-8th graders will be dropped off at the entrance of Building A.
- High school families will go straight and then turn right, and 9th-12th graders will be dropped of in between Buildings B & C.
- High school student drivers will still park in front of Lamar Building A.
If you have both an Elementary and Secondary student who are siblings, please follow the arrival and dismissal procedures for Elementary. Older siblings will be able to walk from the Elementary building to their designated middle school or high school buildings. After the school day ends, older siblings should go to the center common area located at the first floor of the Elementary building.
Additionally:
- Please do not park in the nearby residential and commercial areas. We want to continue to be good neighbors to those around us.
- Please do not move construction fences in order to access alternative areas of the Elementary building. Fences have been placed in designated areas for the safety of our students, staff and families.
- Please obey those who are directing traffic.
One of the many strengths of our NYOS community is our ability to make adjustments as needed. On that note, we are also currently adding more outdoor tables that will be used for Elementary lunch. Secondary students will also be able to eat lunch at outdoor picnic tables within their designated spaces.
We cannot thank our families enough for your grace, kindness, and patience this week as we make adjustments and improvements within our new campus space. Our NYOS community is truly unlike any other!
Student Drivers
Only student drivers who register with the receptionist will be permitted to drive to school, with Seniors being given priority. Student drivers who actively attend ACC or whose schedule allows them to leave campus during the day will also be given first priority.
