Early Dismissal May 13, 2024 for funeral procession of Investigator Poloche
After the announcement was made regarding early dismissal on Monday, many members of the UA community reached out about how they could join and honor Investigator Poloche. To allow for this and to ensure a safe and smooth dismissal, we need to begin afternoon carpool earlier than we originally planned.
Monday, May 13, 2024
- LS dismissal will begin at 1:40 p.m.
- 5-12 dismissal will begin at 2:00 p.m.
- All parking lots will be closed until 2:30 p.m.
- All students must be picked up through carpool. Do not enter the building. Do not park and wait for your student.
It is VERY IMPORTANT that you are on time to pick up your child. Once the procession begins there will be NO ACCESS to our campus until all of the cars in the procession have passed and law enforcement reopens the road. Please also understand that if you are not off campus before the procession begins, you will not be allowed to leave campus until MLK reopens.
If you would like to join us and show your respect and watch the procession, UA’s parking lots will open at 2:30 p.m. There will be a designated area (see attached map) marked off along MLK Jr Blvd for students and families to gather. You MUST, however, pick up your child through carpool. Students will not be released through the office. Once the parking lots open, you may park in any open spot.
Last Chance for a Yearbook
The opportunity to purchase a yearbook through Jostens has ended. Fewer than 100 yearbooks remain. They will go on sale for $100 cash only in the business office during school hours or at the table outside North Gate May 14-15. First come, first served.

Please double check your MPP accounts and take care of any outstanding fees/balances. Some students have incurred fines for technology and library books that need to be paid by the end of the year. Thank you for helping us ensure we are able to replace and repair our equipment.
