Important reminders
No student parking in school lots – Students who drive to school may not park their cars in the school's parking lots on Washington Avenue and North Main Avenue. Students who drive to school should park in legal spots on the streets around the school.
Traveling between 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High and Abrookin – All students with classes at Abrookin Career and Technical Center must take the bus to Abrookin from 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High and back. This will ensure student safety, allow students to avoid having to go back through security, and help prevent students from being late. Students who do not take the bus will not be allowed to re-enter school without parent or guardian contact. Students can catch the bus at Building 2, Tower 2-2.
Leaving and returning to school during the day – 91¸£Àûµ¼º½ High is a closed campus, meaning students cannot leave school during the day – including during lunch and study halls – without parent or guardian permission. Students who leave without a valid reason will not be allowed to re-enter without parent or guardian contact.
Appointment reminders – A student with a daytime appointment must have a note from their parent or guardian, and the parent or guardian must sign out the student before they leave. In addition, a parent or guardian must provide a note or call school before a student can return.
2024 yearbook designs sought – Attention students in grades 9-11: Design next year's yearbook cover! If interested, by June 13. For more info, visit yearbook adviser Amanda Weklar in room 2352 or email aweklar@albany.k12.ny.us.
