🚗 Student Parking at ATC
Parking on campus is a privilege—and with it comes responsibility. Student drivers must allow enough time each morning to account for traffic or parking delays. Tardiness due to parking issues will not be excused.
🎟️ All student drivers must purchase a parking permit for $25 and complete the Student Parking Agreement by August 22. After that date, permits will cost $35.
📝 To apply and pay for a permit, visit the Parking Permit page.
🔒 Reminder: ATC is a closed campus. Students may not visit their vehicles during the school day without prior approval from the front office, as outlined in the agreement.

📚 First Day of School – Friday, August 8th!
🕘 School begins at 8:55 AM and ends at 4:15 PM
We’re thrilled to welcome students back for a day designed to launch the year with energy, excitement, and connection! Here’s what’s in store:
🌞 Morning Kickoff: Students will start the day in their College Crew groups, pick up their class schedules, agendas, and Chromebooks, and participate in fun, community-building activities with their grade-level peers. It’s the perfect way to ease back in and feel at home.
🍽️ Midday Activities: During lunch, students can check out the Club & Activities Fair—a great opportunity to get involved, meet student leaders, and find your place in campus life from day one.
📘 Afternoon Overview: Students will rotate through all of their classes, meet their teachers, and learn what to expect for the year ahead.
🚨 Attendance on the first day is critical. This is a full instructional day—not a half day or orientation—and it sets the tone for the entire semester.
📅 Reminder: Attendance on August 8th counts toward your student’s absence rate for the semester and plays a key role in developing strong routines for the year.

As you gear up for the new school year, please keep the ATC dress code in mind. We follow the Santa Fe Public Schools (SFPS) policy, which requires that clothing fully covers the genitals, buttocks, and chest with opaque fabric. All students must wear a shirt—defined as fabric covering the front, back, and sides under the arms.
🚫 Clothing may not include offensive language, imagery, or references to drugs, alcohol, weapons, or violence.
📘 For full details, check the ATC Student Handbook on our website.
Students not in dress code will be asked to change into appropriate attire or wear an ATC-provided t-shirt and/or sweats (to be returned by day's end).
Let’s start the year strong by creating a respectful, focused, and professional learning environment. Thank you for your support!

🎒 Back-to-School Supplies!
Grade-level supply lists are now available and include general items students will need for the year. Due to some staffing updates and course-specific needs, students may receive a few additional requests on the first day of school. If a specific course isn’t listed, that teacher will likely provide a list during the first week.
🛍️ Reminder: TAX-FREE Weekend is July 25–27, 2025—perfect timing to grab your supplies and save!
