For the 2024-2025 school year, we will no longer share a start time with Oakland Mills Middle. That means the Blandair drop-off will no longer be staffed, and students can be dropped off directly at OMHS. Please note, the surrounding communities are private properties, and are not meant for school drop-off. Additionally, please refrain from pulling over on Kilimanjaro Road to drop off, as it causes a disruption to the flow of traffic. Thank you for helping us to be good neighbors by dropping your students off in the designated areas at OMHS (bus loop, or gym lot). See below for details. 

Starting for the 2024-25 School year:

• Four (4) student drop-off locations before 7:45 a.m. (Later arrivals enter via the front only)
• Drop-off location determines departure to Stevens Forest Road or Oakland Mills Road.

Driving onto OMHS Campus:

All vehicles will continue to drive onto the OMHS Campus via Kilimanjaro Road from either Stevens Forest Road, Oakland Mills Road or Macomber Lane. Drivers must yield to pedestrians crossing Kilimanjaro Road and the OMHS parking lot throughout the entire day.  

Drop-off Location Details (see map for visual):

• Student drop-off 1 & 2 – 
  • Left of the building by the football stadium – Exit to Stevens Forest Road ONLY
  • Drop-off consists of two lanes (1 & 2) forking at the median.  Vehicles will stop, allowing students to exit from vehicles safely to cross the parking lot and enter the building via the gym doors.
  • Vehicles will merge as they approach the exit to Kilimanjaro Road. This drop-off MUST TURN RIGHT ONLY exiting towards Stevens Forest Road.
• Student drop-off 3 & 4 – 
  • Front of the building – Exit to Oakland Mills Road Only
  • Drop-off consists of two lanes (3 & 4) forking at the traffic cones. Vehicles will stop, allowing students to exit from vehicles, safely cross the parking lot, and enter the building via the front doors.
  • Vehicles will merge as they approach the exit to Kilimanjaro Road. This drop-off MUST TURN LEFT ONLY exiting towards Oakland Mills Road.

Thank you for your attention to these details. We look forward to safe and smooth drop-offs this year (and always). Please refer to the diagram below for a visual representation of these drop-off patterns.
