Ardrossan Jr/Sr High Staff Recognition 2021-2022
Sometimes school can be tough... now is the chance to show your appreciation for the people that make the journey brighter along the way!
ATTENTION!! NEW BUS MONITOR - NO ACCESS TO FRONT PARKING LOT
A friendly reminder when dropping off or picking up students, please do not use the front of the school between the hours of 8:20 a.m. to 8:45 a.m. and 3:00 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. which is designated for buses only. We will have a new Bus Monitor starting in the new year who will only allow buses through during the designated times. You are welcome to drive to the back of the school for pick-ups and drop-offs.
As well, when driving to the back of the school, there is no stopping at the entrance. Traffic must flow. Please pull off to the side if you need to stop.
Thank you for your cooperation.
