Front Patio Doors By Guidance
Effective today, these doors are now allowed to be used as exits only at the end of 6th period each day. For entrance purposes, students should continue to use the East and West Gates. Late students and visitors will only be allowed to access the campus through the West Gate.
$125 Ticket for Jaywalking
The Alhambra Police Department will be conducting random patrol to issue citations for jaywalking. That’s a $125.00 ticket for illegally crossing the street without using assigned crosswalks. Pedestrians beware! Use the crosswalks at Hellman & Almansor, and Hellman & Rural!
Lunch
On a trial basis, effective today, we are allowing students to use the Aztec Plaza (the area immediately outside the Math Wing, through the Breezeway, but not beyond the ramps) during lunch. Students can access the vending machines outside the gym, but must return to the Palza area after making the purchase, and take care of your lunch trash properly. All buildings remain off limits, with the exception of accessing Guidance, offices, and the Library. Teachers and Club Advisors must issue lunch passes for students to be allowed to enter buildings. - Mr. Douglas, Student Services

Ideas Wanted on Improving Kick Off
Many teachers, staff and students worked long and hard to put the KO day together. We know it was a lot of sitting and a lot of information overload. We know the sessions need to be shorter; and some have suggested to run the event over a two-day period. It was a great effort for a first try, but we want to hear your ideas and suggestions in making it better and more meaningful for you. Please talk to your teachers, counselor, or any administrator about what activities or information you think we should consider next time. I want to congratulate you and thank you for being so patient and cooperative on KO day. You were great! -Ms. Love
