A few reminders for Northampton Area High School students: Students who are parking on the streets in Northampton, make sure not to park on the streets where you need parking permits from the borough. It is possible your vehicle will be ticketed if parked there.

Also, remember to carry your ID with you each day. It is needed to scan in and out of the building and to sign into the study hall.

Arrivals: Students should not be coming into the building more than 10 minutes before their scheduled class starts. If a student gets there too early, they must sit in the office until it’s time for class. Students are reminded that if coming into the building late, make sure to stop and see attendance before scanning and going to class.
