DIRECTIONS TO NOLAN:
Drive up Signal Mountain via the main road, Signal Mountain Boulevard/Route 127. After the “Welcome to Signal Mountain” sign but before the traffic light, take the first left onto Signal Mountain Blvd. — it is directly across from the CVS entrance. This will become Maryland Avenue and then it becomes James Boulevard after bending around to the right. Turn left onto Timberlinks Drive, just before the Golf Club. Stay on Timberlinks for about two miles. It will bend to the right and become Shackleford Ridge Road. Turn left onto Sam Powell Drive and Nolan Elementary is on your left.
The 3-5 grade entrance is past the parking lot on the left. The main school entrance is past that on the left, across from the flag. Continue up Sam Powell past Nolan, to the next left for the K-2 entrance line.

2022-2023 CAR RIDER PROCEDURES:
Morning Drop-Off:
Student drop-off may begin at 8:15 am as teachers are on-duty for student safety and supervision.
Orange cones are placed at the school’s third/main entrance at 8:15 am each morning. Please proceed down towards SMMHS to the last Nolan entrance and turn left into the drive just before entering the middle/high school campus for car rider drop-off.
Cars will pull all the way down past the front entrance to the cone where staff and/or safety patrol are directing. Several cars will unload at once and students will proceed into the building through the front doors. Please have students ready to exit with their belongings by themselves each morning to keep the flow of our morning traffic. To ensure the safety of our children, please do not pull out of line while children are still unloading. Follow the car in front of you through the line and out the exit.
Afternoon Pick-Up:
We will have two carlines for 2022-2023. The white line and the green line.
At the Registration Fair & Meet Your Teacher Day on August 5, 8:30-10am, your family will be assigned to pick up at either the green or white carline.
Car riders must be picked up no later than 15 minutes after school dismisses. Remaining students will be checked into the aftercare program, and SACC registration and daily rates will apply. Please have your Nolan car tags visible to assist our teachers with loading. This is especially helpful on rainy days!
Absolutely no parking in the main front entrance of the school after 3:00 p.m., as we must keep this area clear for buses. If you need to dismiss your child early from school, please park in the back of the side lot, so as to not block the 3-5 pickup lines. Walk into the main entrance and sign your child out in the office.
WHITE LINE: Please turn onto Sam Powell Drive using the right outside lane. Proceed to the last Nolan entrance on the left, before the Middle-High School Campus. Please pull all the way up to the orange cones in either the left or right lane. This ensures we can fit as many cars as possible in the lines. Do not pull ahead or out of the line until the teacher has motioned for you to do so.
GREEN LINE: Please turn onto Sam Powell Drive using the left inside turn lane. Immediately turn left off of Sam Powell Drive, to the side parking lot, in the left or right pickup lane beside the school. Once recess has been dismissed, the lines may move up slightly. Please do not park and leave your car unattended during this time. Please do not block the designated pedestrian walkways. Once pickup has begun, proceed ahead when directed, and exit the back of the school back onto Shackleford Ridge in your appropriate lane. Do not pull ahead or out of the line until the teacher has motioned for you to do so.
