Student Arrival
Northrup School, AUSD, and our community partners are working together to implement a safe and smooth drop-off/pick-up experience. As such, it is important that families are mindful of the following expectations:
Atlantic Blvd.
- The coned-off lane is used for quick drop-off/pick-up
- While in the coned-off lane, continue to pull forward, even if it is past the main front gate
- All adults must remain in their vehicles
- There is no parking permitted in the valet zone
Additional Options
- Families are welcome to utilize the Curtis drop-off/pick-up area
- If a child may need more support exiting/entering a vehicle, please park in a permitted area and walk your child to campus
Safety
- Students must ALWAYS exit and enter vehicles on the passenger side
- Do not stop in the middle of the street or double-park to drop-off or pick-up your child
- Utilize crosswalks at all times
Please note that the parking lot south of campus is ONLY for Northrup staff.
