School Day Reminders
The school day begins at 7:55 a.m. daily. Students need to be in their first period classroom before 7:55 a.m. Students who are not in the classroom by 7:55 a.m. will be considered tardy. Students who are 10 minutes late for a class are considered absent from that class. The school building opens at 7 a.m. daily.
The school day ends at 3:17 p.m. Seniors with Senior Privilege (8th hour off) may leave after the 7th hour. Seniors who remain on campus during their Senior Privilege time must be in the Commons or Library. The school building closes at 4 p.m. on regular school days, Monday - Thursday, and at 3:30 p.m. on Fridays. After school, students may congregate in the commons. Students who have scheduled activities after 4 p.m. may remain in the atrium until the start of their activity. Otherwise all students without a scheduled evening activity need to leave the building when it closes at 4 p.m. (Monday - Thursday) or 3:30 p.m. (Fridays).

Dress Code Reminders
As we approach the start of the school year, it is important that all students have the necessary uniforms. Uniforms are available through Lands’ End (use school code 900104894). If you are planning to order uniforms from Lands’ End, please plan extra time prior to the start of the school year to allow for delivery of your uniforms. Land’s End recommends planning for this extra time as they are fulfilling orders for all of their schools. As members of one community, our policy encourages modesty, neatness, and humility; not drawing attention to the individual.

Student Parking 2022-23
Due to continued construction projects on the north side of our building during the 2022-23 school year, the small student parking lot on the northside of campus (Priory Parking Lot) may not be available for various periods of time. Therefore, the school will not be selling parking permits for this parking lot. Throughout the school year, it may be available for student parking without a permit.
For more information about student parking permits, parking in the Priory Parking Lot and locations to park near the NDA campus, please click here. Students are encouraged to car pool as much as possible. Students should plan ahead and have several options to park if they do not have a parking permit.

Wireless Earbuds (Air Pods)
NDA values the interpersonal, face-to-face relationships with its students. This relationship and skill development is critical to the learning process and functioning in society. In a world driven by technology, particularly with Personal Electronic Devices like smartphones and air pods, we can easily lose these necessary skills and relationships by focusing inward into our devices when we are called to focus outward beyond ourselves. NDA’s Personal Electronic Device policy (pages 17-18) is designed to help train our students to look beyond themselves or their device, to use their device safely and appropriately, and to foster an environment free of distractions so the students can maximize their experience and their parents' investment in their education.
For the 2022-23 school year, our Personal Electronic Device policy has been updated and wireless earbuds (air pods) are considered a Personal Electronic Device. Students who violate this policy will have their device confiscated and turned into the office. When students are in violation with earbuds, the faculty & staff will confiscate both the earbuds and the cell phone together. Students with multiple violations of this policy are subject to lose the privilege of carrying these devices on them throughout the school building for a period of time.
If students need to use earbuds for their laptop or chromebook and they have lost the privilege of using wireless earbuds, they must have wired earbuds. The atrium desk has wired earbuds for sale at a nominal cost. Please refer to the full policy in our Student & Parent Handbook, click here, on pgs. 17-18.

Updated Atrium Safety Procedures
NDA regularly reviews and revises its safety procedures and protocols to ensure the safety of its students and staff. NDA follows best practices for school safety as recommended by law enforcement and implemented throughout the country.
All adult visitors who arrive at school during regular business hours will need to follow these procedures to enter the atrium:
- The atrium receptionist will engage each visitor in conversation through the intercom at the entrance door.
- Only one adult visitor will be allowed to enter the atrium at a time. The adult visitor will need to report directly to the atrium receptionist desk.
- The atrium receptionist will resolve the needs of the visitor at the desk before engaging the next visitor at the atrium entrance door.
- Any visitor who needs to leave the atrium to proceed into another area of the school building must have his/her driver’s license scanned by our Visitor Management System. Visitors must register their vehicle with the atrium receptionist. All approved visitors must be escorted by an adult staff member at all times. Visitors must check out through the atrium receptionist upon departure.
