3. Where do I complete the beginning of school forms?
Parents, please log into your Parent Portal account to acknowledge and accept all NMTCC policies outlined in the 2022-2023 Student Handbook.

4. How are we notified about snow days or unexpected school closures?
Five sending districts transport students to North Montco. Each district handles snow days differently. Students are to follow their sending school schedule. North Montco places notices about school closures on their website and social media accounts, but does not call parents due to each sending school handling snow days differently.
5. How does my child obtain a parking pass?
There is a $75.00 fee this year for each student parking pass. Students and parents are required to complete both sides of the student parking pass application and clearly print accurate information on the application. Turn in the completed application with the $75.00 fee (cash or check) to NMTCC security department. The application will be processed and the student will receive the current parking pass sticker, which security staff will affix to the vehicle assigned. Receipts for parking pass fees will be issued upon request.

North Montco’s calendar is based on the calendar of five sending districts. Since each district handles its own calendar, we may be open or closed when your sending school isn’t.
7. What is the first day of school for North Montco?
The first student day at North Montco is Tuesday, August 30. Check with your sending school for your first day. Your first day of school is when your district transportation to NMTCC begins.
