LET'S GET READY
For Another Great Year
School Starts Wednesday, August 7
Car Rider Information
Families who use the car rider lines for drop-off and pick-up, please review the morning and afternoon traffic flow maps and information. We ask for your patience as we begin a new school year, as the safety of our students is of utmost importance!
- The ICES and ICIS traffic flow patterns will remain the same as last year. There will be no changes to drop-off or pick-up at ICES and ICIS.
- ICMS and ICHS student car riders MUST be dropped off and picked up in the BACK parking lots. Students should not be dropped off in the front lots. The only exception is students riding to school with a high school driver with a parking permit.
- All ICMS/ICHS car riders will be dropped off at the ICHS fieldhouse for morning drop-off. Students will walk through the pool lobby and then head to class.
- NEW! For afternoon pick-up, ICMS parents will form a line along the back side of the middle school sidewalk. Students will be dismissed and enter vehicles from the sidewalk.
- For afternoon pick-up, ICHS parents will park behind the fieldhouse.
- ICHS parents, please FIND A PARKING SPOT; do not form a line. Students will find you!
- The entrance behind ICMS will serve as an ENTRANCE ONLY during drop off and pick up. All cars must exit to the west of the buildings and head north or south from there.
- Please review the maps!
- As a reminder, school buildings open at 7:45 a.m. Please do not drop off your child before 7:45 a.m.
Please direct questions to your specific building office staff.
Morning Drop-Off Process
Please note a couple of essential clarifications regarding car rider drop-off.
- Families with students at the ICES/ICIS and ICMS/ICHS buildings should follow this drop-off sequence for a smoother and safer process. Please drop off students in ICMS/ICHS buildings FIRST, then circle around to drop off students at ICES/ICIS next. Check out the video showing the process!
- The ICIS teacher parking lot (north side of the building) is CLOSED to through traffic during drop-off and pick-up. Please do not drop off students at ICES/ICIS and cut through the ICIS parking lot.
- Students at ICMS/ICHS drop-off should exit the car as soon as they can access the sidewalk. Students should not wait until they pull up to the Fieldhouse to exit. Anywhere from the Performing Arts Center to the Fieldhouse is appropriate. The more quickly students exit onto a sidewalk, the faster the line moves, and we can avoid a backup onto St. Rd. 300.
- ICMS/ICHS drop-off time is moved to 7:40 a.m. to help alleviate traffic congestion.

NHJ offers breakfast and lunch every day to all students. Starting this school year, lunches will no longer be free to all students. Students will be charged for lunches based on their free, reduced, or paid eligibility.

The meal application also has a textbook rental assistance section which must be signed. Complete one application per household. An application can be found on our web page.

With the previous no-charge meal program going away starting July 1, 2022, NHJ Food Service has the opportunity to begin a new program. Starting this school year, Universal Free Breakfast will be offered to all students. Universal Free Breakfast means that no student, regardless of eligibility status, pays for their breakfast meal.
All students at NHJ have an individual prepaid cafeteria account and a PIN (personal identification number). The account will be used by your student to purchase meals or extra food items such as milk.
