Letter from Mr. Johnson regarding pickup/dropoff

 Nyack Middle School begins at 8:04 a.m.  When you approach Nyack Middle School, you will be directed by our security team to a drop-off point located in the front of our building. Please do not attempt to pass any vehicles in line. Due to the high number of vehicles dropping students off, it is best to allow extra time to complete the drop-off process. Please do not arrive on campus until 2:40 p.m. Students are dismissed at 2:50 p.m. When you arrive for dismissal, please follow the directions of the security personnel. Due to safety and security concerns, you must remain in your vehicle during arrival and dismissal, and our security team will escort your child to your car after all of our buses depart.
