School Parking Lot Safety Reminders:  When entering or exiting the ACHS campus it is critical that everyone obey the speed limit at all times and yield to pedestrians.  Any parent or guardian dropping off or picking up a student must turn right upon entering campus at the first stop sign and go straight until you reach the last parking lot where you will turn right and follow the cones.  All student drop offs and pick-ups should occur on the sidewalk nearest the school.  Please see attached image.

Recordatorios de Seguridad en el Estacionamiento Escolar: Al entrar o salir del campus de ACHS, es fundamental que todos respeten el límite de velocidad en todo momento y cedan el paso a los peatones. Cualquier padre, madre o tutor que deje o recoja a un estudiante debe girar a la derecha al ingresar al campus en la primera señal de alto y continuar recto hasta llegar al último estacionamiento, donde deberá girar a la derecha y seguir los conos. Todas las entregas y recogidas de estudiantes deben realizarse en la acera más cercana a la escuela. Por favor, consulte la imagen adjunta.
