Nottoway Intermediate School

Nottoway Intermediate School Families, The safety and security of our students remain our top priority. To help us maintain a safe and orderly environment, we ask for your full cooperation when picking up your child during the school day. Please remember the following procedures: All parents and guardians must report directly to the school office when arriving to pick up a student. A valid photo ID is required for verification every time you sign out your child. Please follow the directions of school staff and officials to ensure an efficient and secure process. These procedures are in place to protect every student at Nottoway Intermediate School. We appreciate your partnership in helping us maintain a safe environment where our students can learn and grow. Thank you for your understanding, support, and continued commitment to the safety of all our children. Together, We Are Nottoway—Committed to Excellence.
