New Scooter and Skateboard Racks at ACSS

Our students are now using the 2 new scooter and skateboard racks

to house the many boards that are riden to school. They are located

outside the main office beside the bike racks. Please ensure that a

good lock is purchased and used to keep the boards locked up during

the day. Please do not leave bikes, scooters or skateboards locked up

overnight at the school. The school is not responsible for these

items, so please remember to have your items locked up with a good

heavy lock!
