ACS, as a courtesy to parents, operates a morning and afternoon carpool.
Please use the utmost caution when participating in drop off/pick up. Pay attention and follow these rules:
ABSOLUTELY NO cell phones, tablets, or electronic devices of any kind, including bluetooth or other hands-free devices, may be used by drivers in the student loading and unloading zone(s).
To ensure the safety of all, a vehicle may not exceed 10 mph on school property at any time for any reason.
Each family will be issued a carpool tag with their family carpool number.
Do not block crosswalks, driveways, cross streets or fire lanes at any time.
No parking is allowed in staging areas 30 minutes before pick-up time.
Line up single-file in student loading zones.
Respectfully follow directions of staff members or volunteers assisting with drop-off/pick-up.
Pull your car as far forward as possible. Do not stop in front of the main entrance if there is more room in front of your car.
Do not attempt to pass the car in front of you at any time during drop-off/pick-up. Follow the car in front of you at all times.
Prepare your student for exiting the vehicle. When you stop in the drop-off zone, students should be able to immediately exit the vehicle.
Students should only exit/enter your vehicle on the right side. Never allow them to exit on the left. Never allow them to walk between vehicles.
Do not get out of your vehicle to assist students. ACS expects students to exit vehicles unassisted, unless there are extenuating circumstances (a student on crutches, for example). Attendants will be available to help students who need assistance.
Release your student after you have safely stopped wherever you are in the drop-off zone. Do not wait to be in front of the main entrance.
Please be patient and respectful.
Middle School drop-off will begin at 7:30 a.m. There will be no supervision prior to 7:30 a.m.
Elementary drop-off will run from 7:40 a.m. to 7:55 a.m.
5.1.3 Afternoon Pick-Up
Afternoon pick-up will run from 3:15 p.m. to 3:35 p.m. Students not picked up by 3:35 p.m. will be escorted and signed into Homework Club and parents will be required to park and come in to sign the student out. The associated fees will be charged to the student's account.
Early pick-up of students should be completed before 3:00 p.m. to avoid the congestion that occurs during afternoon pick-up. Parents must sign out their student in the office. The student will be contacted to come to the office for dismissal. For the safety and security of all students, parents must wait in the office for their student.
For ACS, parking is defined as leaving a vehicle without a driver in the driver’s seat that has the ability to move the vehicle. There should be no parking in either the fire lane or the loading zone at any time. The fire and police departments will ticket vehicles parking in these areas. There shall be no parking except in designated parking areas. There shall be no parking in any non-paved areas.
A royal blue and white flag will be visible on our flagpole. This indicates there will be no supervision by ACS staff during carpool.

If you are in violation of these procedures, your carpool privileges may be revoked, at the discretion of the School Leaders. This means your carpool number will not be called during carpool and you will be required to park your car in the parking lot and TBD.
