Arrival/Dismissal

At Novi Meadows, we expect students to arrive before 7:30 a.m., and we dismiss at 2:22 p.m.

Students either ride the bus, get dropped off or picked up by a parent or guardian, walk to and from school, or use  after-school Right at School. Please read the relevant information about expectations depending on your student's category. Students are welcome to enter the building after 7:15 a.m. and are expected to be seated in class by 7:30 a.m.

Bus

  • Students riding the bus will be dropped off in the bus loop.
  • At dismissal students exit by bus letter and find their bus in the bus loop.
  • If you need additional information, please contact our Transportation Department at 248-449-1245.

Drop-off/ Pick-Up

There is no left turn when exiting campus during arrival and dismissal.

  • Student pick up and drop off is in the back of the building. Parents should drop students off at the curb and pull all the way forward to allow the maximum number of parents to let students out at the same time. Please, wait in the line of cars to drop students off along the cones.
  • DO NOT drop students off in the parking lot area. Please, DO NOT cut down the aisles. This creates unsafe situations for students as well as other drivers.
  • We know that drop off and pick up times can be hectic. Please do everything you can to ensure the safety of everyone involved.
  • Parents will not be allowed to wait in the bus lane or ESB parking lot to pick up or drop off students.
  • Please be patient.

Walkers

The Novi Community School District policy states that if you reside within walking distance of the school your child attends, then your child is expected to walk. One mile or under is considered the "walk zone" for elementary schools.

Right at School

Right at School is located in the cafeteria. Parents can access this after school at the parent pickup doors in the back of the building. Students might be picked up by 6 p.m. and for more information please call 248-210-9679.
