📢APS Drop-Off/Pick-Up Lane Reminder!
To help keep traffic moving, we ask that parents/guardians using the drop-off/pick-up lane remain in their vehicles. If you need to get out of your car with your student, please park in a designated parking spot rather than stopping in the drop-off/pick-up lane. For the safety of all students, please ensure your student always exits/enters the vehicle on the sidewalk side. This is essential to prevent students from stepping into traffic or active driving lanes. 🚗🚘
Thank you for helping us keep our drop-off/pick-up routine safe and efficient!💛🥰
