Parking & Traffic Reminders (Arrival & Dismissal)

To help ensure a safe and efficient process during both arrival and dismissal, please follow these guidelines:
  • If you choose to park rather than use the carpool lane at door #3, you must exit your vehicle and walk your student to or from the building. Also, please do not park in the Allina parking lot.
  • If you plan to remain in your vehicle, please use the designated carpool lane only. See the diagram on our website for details. 
  • Please do not drop off or pick up students at any other doors.

These procedures are in place for the safety of all students and staff. We understand that arrival and dismissal can take a few extra minutes, but when everyone follows the same expectations, traffic flows more smoothly and efficiently.

Thank you for your cooperation and partnership in keeping our campus safe.

Vacations Require Pre-Approval

Families are asked to plan vacations around the school calendar whenever possible to minimize missed instructional time. When travel is unavoidable, vacations require pre-approval. Students are expected to gather homework and assignments from their teachers in advance, with the expectation that all work will be completed upon return. To request pre-approval for a vacation, please email sc-attendance@pactcharter.org as far in advance as possible. Thank you for your partnership in supporting consistent attendance and student success.
