AHS Student Parking, Drop-off & Pick Up Procedures
Student Parking
Students arriving at the start of the school day will park in the old tennis court parking lot. Students arriving late or returning from CC+ classes who can not find a parking spot in the old tennis court parking lot will fill the spots in the new gravel lot in front of the gymnasium.
Parent Drop-Off and Pick-up
Parent drop off/pick up will take place at the Elm Street entrance (on the baseball field side). Parents will drop students off and pick students up on the sidewalk of Elm Street. Students will walk up/down the hill to and from the gymnasium entrance. No parent traffic will be allowed to enter High School Road during drop-off and pick-up times. This is a safety matter. There is no place for parents to turn around and exit.
During the school day, parents may park in the marked drop-off/pick-up spots available in front of the gymnasium in the staff parking lot. Please enter through the main entrance.
Medical Issues Drop Off Pick Up
Please contact the office for a special medical pass in order to pull up to the front of the gymnasium staff parking lot during drop-off and pick-up.
