Toys, Fidgets, Electronic Devices and other items from home can be a distraction to others. Please help us limit these items at school. For sensory needs, counselors will work with students, families and staff to develop a plan. Also attached is the bell to bell policy for cell phones and other smart devices during the school day. We appreciate everyone's cooperation in making NCEMS a wonderful learning environment.

At 7:50 am, students may transition to their classrooms. Be sure to check out the lunch choices on Mrs. Koch's cart! Please do not exit and leave your vehicle unattended in the circle drives. If you intend to walk into the building with your student(s) please park in a parking lot spot. We have included a reminder of NCEMS Drop off and Pick Up procedures. Let's all drive slowly and carefully to help ensure a safe start to school.

Map titled "NCEMS Morning Drop Off Procedures" showing one-way traffic flow and designated student drop-off zones around the school. The map uses green and yellow color coding to direct vehicles based on the youngest child in the vehicle. School begins at 8:00 AM, and parents are encouraged to arrive no earlier than 7:30 AM. Green Zone (PS–3rd Grade): Vehicles enter from the east, follow a one-way route through the parking lot, and drop off preschool through 3rd-grade students at the curb near the main entrance. Yellow Zone (4th–8th Grade): Vehicles enter from the west, follow a separate one-way route, and drop off 4th–8th-grade students at the curb. Students in this zone walk to the main doors. The map includes arrows indicating one-way traffic only, a "No Entry" area, and signs stating that all students must enter through the main doors. Two AM crossing guard locations are marked along nearby streets. A warning reminds drivers in the yellow zone to yield to pedestrians and merging traffic from the green zone. Additional instructions emphasize: Always be cautious and slow down. Drop students off curbside only. Ensure children are ready to exit before entering the parking lot. Do not leave vehicles parked or unattended in either drop-off zone.
Map titled "NCEMS Afternoon Pick Up Procedures" showing one-way traffic patterns and designated student pick-up zones around the school. The map uses orange and blue color coding to direct vehicles based on the youngest child in the vehicle. Students who walk, ride a bike, or are picked up by car are dismissed at 3:12 PM. Bus riders and middle school students are dismissed at 3:15 PM. Orange Pick-Up Zone (Preschool & Kindergarten): Vehicles enter from the west, follow a one-way route, and pick up preschool and kindergarten students along the curb. Preschool and kindergarten students exit through the south doors. First- through eighth-grade students who have a preschool or kindergarten sibling may also exit through the south doors. Blue Pick-Up Zone (1st–8th Grade): Vehicles enter from the east, follow a separate one-way route, and pick up first- through eighth-grade students along the curb. Students exit through various school doors based on their classroom location and whether they have a preschool or kindergarten sibling. The map includes arrows indicating one-way traffic only, a "No Entry" area, and three marked PM crossing guard locations. A warning reminds drivers in the orange zone to yield to pedestrians and vehicles in the blue zone where traffic merges. Additional instructions emphasize: Always be cautious and slow down. Pick up students curbside only. The designated pick-up area extends anywhere along the sidewalk within each pick-up zone.
