SECURITY

Please remind your students that all students must enter the school through the front entrance or the auditorium in the mornings. Students should not go straight to the Learning Cottages, even if they have class there first period.

During the remainder of the school day, all students must enter through the front doors of the school. No one should be letting students in through any other doors. Please do not open a door to let a student or anyone else into the building. Please tell them they must enter through the front entrance of the school. This minor inconvenience is for the safety and security of all students, faculty, and staff.

PARKING

Seniors: Park only in the numbered space assigned to you if your name was drawn in the parking lottery. Campus security officers regularly patrol the parking lots and will issue 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 may 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 on the 1100 hall with any questions.

Lastly, and very importantly, do not park at any time at Vanderlyn Elementary School. The 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. Be aware that if you park there, you will be towed—no exceptions. This will be your only warning.

HOMECOMING FESTIVITIES!

We are excited for a wonderful Homecoming Week beginning Monday, 9/15. We are aptly naming it “Holly D Wood!” The week will be filled with fun dress-up days, wacky spirit games, our traditional annual parade on Thursday, a pep rally and game on Friday, and the Homecoming Dance on Saturday night from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m. in our gym.

Please impress upon your student the absolute expectation to avoid getting involved in any act of destructive behavior toward any neighborhood, student, or family. The Dunwoody Police Department is on alert and will arrest students who are trespassing or defacing private property.

If these actions lead to a school disturbance, consequences will be served. Instead, let’s make the 2025 Homecoming the best in our 54-year history!
