At Northwood we believe that feeling safe and secure at school is paramount to getting an education. Combined the Northwood security team has many years of experience in policing and corrections.
Student IDs
Student IDs must be worn while on school grounds. Each student is issued an ID when he/she has his/her picture taken by Blanton Studios at the beginning of the school year. Since seniors have their pictures taken during the summer, they will be issued their IDs by security when IDs are received from Blanton within the first couple weeks of school.
Lockers
Lockers will be issued by Ms. Sutton and Ms. Parker during the first couple weeks of school. If your student chooses to obtain a locker, there will be a $5 obligation put on his or her account for the lock. The student will not have to pay the $5 as long as the lock is returned to security at the end of the school year.
Parking Permits
Parking permits may be purchased within the first couple weeks of each semester. A student parking permit costs $37.50 per semester. A student who wishes to purchase a parking permit must see Mr. Edward Velasquez for a parking permit form, which must be filled out completely and signed by a parent.
Electronic Devices
Electronic devices such as cell phones and iPods or MP3 players are not allowed to be used in school from 6:30 AM to 2:10 PM. Our preference is that students leave these items at home. When these items are brought to school they are not only a distraction, but oftentimes they can be lost, stolen, or misplaced.
Bullying
Bullying, cyberbullying, and harassment continue to be issues all schools face. Please encourage your student to speak with a staff member if this is happening to him or her. Visit the MCPS Preventing Bullying website for more information about support and resources offered by the county.
