Only a limited number of people will be permitted in each building at a time and in certain areas, and students may have to wait their turn. As such, we ask that you please move expeditiously while in the building. Please remember that this is not a time for socializing with other students or families. We thank you in advance for your cooperation and patience.
Every building will have a designated one-way traffic system for entering, exiting and moving through the hallways. You must use the designated entrance and exit as detailed below.

Once inside, students will be limited to the hallways only. No one will be permitted in classrooms or offices, and restroom use will be restricted.
There will be stations for returning iPads, textbooks, library books, depositing trash, etc. If you are returning your iPad, please print this receipt and fill it out ahead of time. The technician who takes your iPad will sign it and immediately give it back. This will be your receipt for returning your iPad. (This receipt can also be filled out at the school if you can not print it ahead of time.)
Elementary
All items from elementary classrooms will be placed in the student’s locker. Families are encouraged to bring a bag to collect the student’s items which could include artwork and projects.
Elementary books will be collected on tables and/or book carts in hallways.
Middle School
Seventh-graders should return all textbooks and library books in “The Dungeon” gymnasium before they exit the school. Books will be collected by subject matter. All eighth grade textbooks and library books will be collected by subject-matter in the LGI room.
Students will also be permitted to walk to their locker to retrieve belongings. Teachers will place classwork and projects that need to be picked up in designated areas and communicate those areas directly to the student. Students should enter the school by themselves. We ask that the student’s parent/guardian please wait in the car.
High School
High school class projects that need to be picked up will be located in the gymnasium. However, students will only be permitted to go to the gym if they received explicit communication from their teacher that there is something for them to pick up. If you do not receive communication from your teacher, you have nothing to pick up and you will go to either your locker, if you have belongings in it to retrieve, or straight to the cafeteria for book drop off.
Students will enter the cafeteria from the B hallway and drop off books in their designated areas in both sides of the cafeteria (A and B) before exiting the building from the A side of the cafeteria. Students must go to their lockers before proceeding to the cafeteria. Pathways will be clearly marked.
Lost textbook or library book?
Please do not worry if you have a lost textbook or library book. If found over the summer, books can be returned when school resumes in the fall.
District personnel will be monitoring all areas to ensure everyone is moving about the building as instructed while maintaining a safe social distance. NHSD police officers will be in parking lots to help with traffic flow.
