Pick Up Time Note

Our neighbor, living on the corner of Webster and Bartlett Avenues, frequently returns home during the NC dismissal each day. PLEASE take note of this driveway and, as good neighbors, never block it.
  
***Parking on Webster Ave. at dismissal time is for sports buses and sports car pools ONLY. Please go to Wellington Ave. and down Bartlett Ave. for regular pick ups at 2:30 P.M. Please do not enter the line from Wester Street, many parents are patiently waiting in line.
*************************
Safety First!
A memorandum of understanding (MOU) was submitted to the Nashua Police Department, as well as St. Christopher’s Church and Nashua North High School. If Nashua Catholic would ever have to evacuate for a short amount of time, our students would walk to St. Christopher’s Church. For long term evacuations, students would be bused to Nashua North High School. A formal, Incident Command System reunification process will be utilized at these facilities. All people allowed to pick up your child after an evacuation must be listed as emergency contacts and have proper ID. Additionally, all faculty and staff are FEMA IS 100 certified for the Incidence Command System.
 
Some of our safety drills with the students will begin this week and continue throughout the school year. My hope is that all of this information gives you a sense of security in having your student(s) remain safe here at Nashua Catholic.
