Drop-off
Map of drop-off locations by grade and all class line locations
If possible, we encourage walking, biking, or busing to school. Limited parking is available around the perimeter of Ruth Acty with more available if you park a block or two away and walk. Please pay attention to parking signs and do not block neighbors’ driveways or the bus loading zone. The white zone on Rose is a passenger loading zone and they will ticket you if you leave your car unattended.
Bike parking is located at the far east end of the yard, past the grassy area and by the picnic tables.
If dropping off at the school without parking, please use the passenger loading zones on Rose Street and at the corner of Acton and Ada.
