Important Reminder: Use of School Carline for Student Drop-Off/Pick-Up
It has come to the attention of our administration that an increasing number of families are utilizing the surrounding neighborhood roads by the State Road Campus to wait for and pick up students during afternoon dismissal, rather than following the school’s established carline procedures.
Please be advised that this practice is not appropriate and is causing disruption to our neighboring communities. Residents have formally expressed their concerns and have notified both the school and the Pennsylvania State Police regarding this matter.
To ensure student safety, maintain positive relationships with our neighbors, and preserve the flow of local traffic, we must insist that all families utilize the school’s designated carline for student pick-up. This process is designed to provide a safe and efficient system for dismissal while minimizing impact on the surrounding area.
We appreciate your cooperation in adhering to school protocols and helping us model respectful and responsible community behavior.
In addition, we have many families who are skipping the morning carline at State Road and pulling directly up to the main doors to drop students off in the morning. Moving forward, if the carline is still open and you try to utilize the main lot, you will be directed to exit and proceed to the carline. Students should only be dropped off at the main doors if it is after the carline has closed.
Attendance Information for 7-12 Students and Families Beginning 4th Quarter
AGCS 7-12 Families,
With Spring right around the corner, we wanted to take a minute to notify you of important information regarding your child’s school attendance, for students in grades 7-12. As the weather gets warmer we typically see an increase in the number of school tardies. Beginning the fourth quarter (March 28) we will strictly be enforcing our tardy policy per our school handbook and continuum of consequences. Please take a moment to review the following:
As per the student handbook students are considered tardy at 7:35. We are allowing a 3 minute grace period extending this time to 7:38.
Beginning March 28, all students' tardies to school will be reset to 0 and students will be allowed up to 5 parent excused tardies. Students arriving after 7:38 will be considered tardy unexcused unless a doctor's note is provided.
On the 4th tardy, parents will be notified that the next unexcused tardy to school will result in an after school detention.
On the 5th tardy, families will be notified via talking points if their child has reached 5 tardies and are required to serve an after school detention.
Students will have 3 days to serve the detention.
All detentions will be held Monday-Thursday from 2:20-3:10 in room 505.
Each subsequent tardy following the 5th will result in an after school detention up to the 10th.
The 10th tardy will result in a Saturday detention in addition to the after school detentions.
Failure to serve the assigned detention within 3 days will result in a formal meeting with the Administration.
Through the implementation of this plan, we hope to see a reduction in lates to school that are having a significant impact on both school resources and student learning.
Thank you for taking the time to review this with your child,
AGCS Administration and Attendance
