ARRIVAL AND DEPARTURE FROM CAMPUS
PMA cannot be responsible for students arriving before and after the regularly scheduled classes on a given day (except for students registered in a zero period class). Parents can drop off students as early as 6:30 am. The school building will be open for students beginning at 7am. Students who repeatedly loiter on campus outside the usual hours may be subject to disciplinary action, including being asked to withdraw from school. PMA is not responsible for the behavior of students providing rides to school. However, such students are strongly exhorted to obey all traffic and safety rules and to drive with the utmost caution and care at all times. Any reckless or careless driving of vehicles observed in the immediate vicinity of the school will be followed up by disciplinary action whenever possible. Out of respect for those living on or near the campus, students are asked not to play their car radios/stereos loudly in the parking lot or while parked anywhere near the boundaries of the campus.
PARENT RESPONSIBILITY FOR
PICKING UP STUDENTS
All students must be picked up from school within a reasonable amount of time. Students should not be left on campus for extended periods of time waiting for transportation. Please arrange for your student(s) to be picked up from school by 4pm unless they are participating in a school event such as athletic practice, play rehearsal, etc., in which case the additional Supervision Fee beginning 30 minutes after the end of the school sponsored event will be charged at a rate of $25 every 30 minutes to the students tuition account.
DAILY DROP OFF AND PICK-UP GUIDELINES (Subject to change due to facility construction)
Students are to be dropped off in the east parking lot on Gardendale Street (the east parking lot is the one adjacent to the football/soccer field). Vehicles are to enter through gate 3 (the gate closest to Paramount Blvd) and proceed to the drop off area. Once students are dropped off vehicles are to exit out of either of the remaining two gates depending on what lane they are in. For safety and efficiency, please obey posted signs and/or school officials.
At the end of the school day, students are to be picked up in the east parking lot off of Gardendale St. Vehicles may enter through gate 1 or 3 and exit through gate 2. Students may also be picked up after school from the exit on Consuelo St. at the back of the campus. Parents are advised to pick up their students between 2:45 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. The parking lot is closed until 2:45pm on regular school days.
Avoid dropping students off across the street from school. Most end up jaywalking across busy Gardendale rather than walking the distance to the intersections.
Never block our neighbors' driveways. Never block ANY school driveway.
Make a right turn only out of the student parking lot.
Avoid double parking in front of the school both before and after school.
