REMINDER — Very important PARKING DIRECTIVES for you and your student(s)
SENIORS: PARK ONLY IN THE NUMBERED SPACE ASSIGNED TO YOU if your name was drawn in the parking lottery. The campus security officers are regularly patrolling the parking lots and will be giving consequences to students parked in ANY SPACE to which they have not been assigned. Make sure your hang tag is visible.
FRESHMEN, SOPHOMORES, JUNIORS: YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO PARK ANYWHERE ON THE DUNWOODY HIGH SCHOOL CAMPUS. You are allowed to park on the streets (first-come, first-served) AS LONG AS you are not blocking a driveway. There are lines drawn in front of the school and on other streets where you can park. You may also park at St. Luke's church at Mt. Vernon and Vermack Roads if you have paid the fee to park there. See Coach Hill or Ms. Curry in the Discipline office in the 1100 hall with any questions.
LASTLY, AND VERY importantly, DO NOT PARK AT ANY TIME, ANYWHERE AT VANDERLYN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL. THEIR PARKING LOT IS RESERVED FOR TEACHERS WHO WORK THERE AND PARENTS OF CHILDREN WHO ATTEND THERE. The cars that are supposed to park there are clearly marked, so it will be easy to spot a car out of place there. BE AWARE that if you park there, you will be towed. No exceptions. This will be your only warning.

JV followed in the winning ways, securing a 10-8 win over West Forsyth. They’re now a perfect 4-0 on the season. It was an awesome game and a full team effort. Molly Cantwell was incredible behind the plate with numerous run-saving stops while also getting 3 hits & a clutch RBI. Kenzie Eisenstat had 3 RBIs, including a single and a double. Tenley Marks started a double play from right field. Sydney Kuniansky had a huge catch at 2nd to end an inning with runners in scoring position. Sutton Travis maintained her perfect fielding percentage and made all three outs in the last inning, including ending the game with a diving catch!
