Traffic Safety and Routines

Please review the following instructions when dropping off or picking up your child at Hanover Middle School.

HMS Morning Drop-Off

Early drop-off starts at 7:00 am and runs until 7:15 am. When students arrive, they will enter the front of the building and go to the cafeteria. After 7:15 am, cars will be directed to the back of the building for drop-off, where staff members will greet students and then head to the cafeteria. Please pull all the way up to minimize drop-off time for all. Students will be dismissed from the cafeteria and head to homerooms at 7:25 am.

• Bus students will arrive at HMS from approximately 7:15 am to 7:30 am.
• We strongly encourage families to ride the bus to school every day. This will significantly reduce the amount of traffic and your morning commute time.  

HMS Afternoon Pick-Up

Buses leave HMS at 2:15 pm. Cars picking up are not allowed into HMS before 2:15 pm. Please follow these rules as they are crucial to getting all kids home safely. After buses leave the driveway, all cars are permitted to enter HMS.

• Families with 6^th and 8^th graders will pick up their students in front of HMS.
• Families with 5^th and 7^th graders will pick up their students in the back of HMS.
• If families have siblings in different grades, all siblings will be picked at the youngest sibling's location.
