Barrett-Jackson Traffic Directions

In working with the Scottsdale Police Department, we have devised the following traffic plan for next week. 94^th Street will be closed southbound at Bell Road throughout the week, which will curtail cars from entering the campus in their normal way. Please watch for Barrett-Jackson shuttle buses that will be using the easement to access Westworld!

Those coming for conferences, Athenaeum pick-up or Solis Ortus drop-off should follow the same route!

To accommodate the traffic plan, the school times will need to be adjusted as follows:

• 11:30 am: Kindergarten, first and second grades will dismiss. Cars should again enter from 92^nd Street, SPA entrance.
• 11:45 am: 3^rd, 4^th, & 5^th Grades, as well as younger siblings, will dismiss. Cars should again enter from 92^nd Street, SPA entrance.
• 12:15 pm: Students with older Prep siblings and students riding buses will be held until 12:15 pm when SPA dismisses. All 6-8th grade SPA siblings will be dismissed if you have signed the SPA permission slip for them to be dismissed for shared pick-up.
• 12:30 pm: ACS Dismissal complete and buses leave for drop off at satellite sites.

NEW TRAFFIC PLAN: ALL traffic for ACS and SPA will be required to enter from 92^nd Street through the Scottsdale Prep entrance. All cars will then proceed through the lanes for Scottsdale Prep. ACS/Prep shared families and ACS only families should stay to the right and use the B lane. After driving through the Scottsdale Prep lanes, ACS families will make a right into the south side of the ACS parking lot and proceed to the ACS lanes. After picking up children, parents will exit at 94^th Street as usual following Scottsdale PD Officer instructions.

All families will need to access both school properties from the west on Bahia. Traffic will not be allowed use of 94^th Street southbound. Only northbound traffic will be allowed on 94^th Street.

If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Eric Hull, Assistant Headmaster, at ehull@archwayscottsdale.org.
