School safety is one of the greatest responsibilities we face as a community on a daily basis. We need to work together to ensure that our students safely enter and exit our school campus. Together, we must also make sure the rules are followed for parent pick up and drop off. The rules are designed for the safety of our students.
Parents may NOT enter the front parking lot for the purpose of pick up or drop off. The front parking lot can be a safety hazard as there is not enough room for parents to enter and exit with reasonable driving space and students are in harm way as they may run from vehicles and are not seen by other vehicles. The front lot is reserved for staff, handicap usage, and visitors who have school business such as a meeting, parent conference, etc.
- Parents parking on the 72th Street and Juniper Rd need to remind students that they MUST use the sidewalk to the crosswalk and be crossed by the APS crossing guard.
- Parents please drop off/pick up lanes prescribed at the east side of our building.
- Parents must not leave their children on the school campus longer than 15 minutes either before of after the school day.
- School grounds are not supervised except during school day.
- If extenuating circumstances prevent a family from picking up a student on time, the school must be notified within 15 minutes of the end of the school day.
- If students are repeatedly left on campus outside of the school day hours, an administrator will attempt to contact the family to discuss the problem. Is the problem continues, the student may be considered abandoned and the police will be notified/ Such children may be subject to transportation to a designated state shelter.
