Parent Drop-Off/Pick-Up Details:


*Please do not use the bus loop in the front of the building during drop-off (7:45am – 8:25am) and/or pickup times (2:40pm – 3:25pm). 

  • Door 6 to the school will be open at 7:45am M-F for drop-off. 

  • Please see the attached updated traffic flow map for drop-off/pick-up at South.  We adjusted the traffic lane for exiting through location 4.  There will be a right-turn-only lane and a left-turn-only lane with the purpose of making the traffic flow quicker.  

    South Updated Traffic Flow Map

    We thank you for your patience as we work through this process and make adjustments as needed. There will also be additional signage coming within the next few weeks.

Reminders 


  • Remember to check grades on Parent Portal instead of Schoology.  Parent Portal is the official place that grades are stored and updated. 
  • Thank you to all the parents who have dropped off and/or picked-up their child in the back of the school.  The front of the building is for buses only in the AM & PM. 
  • We do have students with peanut allergies, and we ask that no shelled peanuts be brought into school.  Food that is processed with peanuts is permitted.  We ask that no actual peanut shells be brought into the building. 
  • If you drop your child off late to school, please call to the main office to let them know.  
  • We will be continuing our new lockdown protocol known as A.L.I.C.E this school year.  

Alternate Bus Info 

To the Parents or Guardians of Anchor Bay Schools that use alternate locations for either pick up or drop off of your students due to daycare, grandparents or divorce situations, please complete the Alternate Bus form in the Parent Portal or fax (586-725-4223) or mail 51890 Washington, New Balt. 48047 PDF DocumentClick here for the form 

Having this form early gets the correct information to you in August when the postcards go out. Thank you and have a safe and Happy Summer!

Immunization Requirements
New 7th Grade Immunization Requirements We would highly recommend getting the immunizations or waivers early in the summer. We have found that many will wait until just before school begins or shortly after and parents have a difficult time getting a timely appointment. This is a required state law and we need to have your child’s immunizations up to date to attend school. Thank you for your cooperation. More...
