📣 Avon Park High School Families
Now that school is off to a fantastic start, we need your help to keep things running smoothly.
🚗 Morning & Afternoon Drop-Off/Pick-Up
Always pull as far forward as possible to keep traffic moving.
Students can enter through multiple doors—no need to stop directly in front.
Dismissal is at 3:30 PM in the front of the school—please use the parent pick-up line.
Do not pick up students across the street, in the church parking lot, or other areas around the perimeter for safety reasons.
The first couple weeks are slower while everyone learns the routine—thank you for your patience!
🍽 Lunch Deliveries
No deliveries of food or other items from parents or restaurants during the school day.
Students should bring lunch from home or enjoy our free breakfast & lunch in the cafeteria.
If a student forgets something important, park and bring it to the front office—staff will call the student between classes.
⏰ Afternoon Check-Out
No student check-outs after 3:00 PM due to parent pick-up traffic in front of the school.
Thank you for helping us make the 2025–2026 school year safe and successful! ❤️
