Landon Huntoon took 1st place in Storytelling at the Avondale Ninjatational Tournament today!
With the upcoming closure of Pine Ave., all traffic coming to Alma High School will be from Bridge St. through the athletic complex. The attached maps will help us navigate this during the closure. Please be patient as we head into next week with these changes.
Below are some important notes in regards to the school day here at AHS.
Important Notes:
Before School: All student drop off must be done in the student parking lot as it currently is supposed to happen. There will be a little more bus traffic in this lot as students from area schools that attend CTE at AHS will be dropped off in this lot also.
During School: There is limited access in the circle drive in front of the school for anyone that needs to come to school for a meeting, pick up a sick kid, etc. This can be accessed from the North. The circle drive will now have two-way traffic.
After School: To help prevent vehicles trying to exit to River St. from multiple directions and causing back-ups, we've developed a flow for traffic to follow. This is indicated by arrows on the map.
Students Using APS Transportation: All APS buses will drop off and pick up at DLPMS and students will walk to and from the high school.
The city sidewalk between AHS and DLPMS will be closed. All foot traffic will follow the same path that students will use to get to their bus.
CTE Busing: Students using APS transportation to go to Mt. Pleasant will be picked up and dropped off in the student lot in front of the auditorium. There will be no change in the time that the bus will be leaving. Students arriving to the HS after their AM CTE classes will enter the school through the front main doors so they can get let in by staff.
A spectacular concert tonight! Awesome performances by our DLPMS & AHS bands.
Students can earn "Panther Bucks" for following their ROARS. They can spend their bucks at the ROARS Store. One of the options at the store is to "purchase" a classroom visit from Alma Police Department's Blue. Thank you Officer Mueller for letting Blue visit Lina.
This week's Panther Buck winners!
