There are two entrances during carpool hours: (1) Front Entrance and (2) Selwyn Entrance. During carpool hours, the Front Entrance is one-way only, enters from Runnymede Lane and exits at Barclay Downs. The Selwyn entrance enters and exits from Colony Road. Students enter the buildings through the walkways to the middle part of our campus buildings.
During carpool hours:
- The Front Entrance is a one-way direction. Do not enter from Barclay Downs, as this is a one-way exit for buses and cars.
- Students may be dropped off in front of the 7th/8th grade building walkway from the Front Entrance. Students may not enter the main entrance doors (via Front Office) during carpool hours.

Early dismissal ends at 2:40PM and if a student checks out before 12:00 PM, that will count towards a full day’s absence. To check out your child for early dismissal, a parent or legal guardian (of record in CMS system) must be present at AGMS, scan the QR code to complete a google form, and provide a government issued ID to the attendance secretary. Due to the volume of student check out, please arrive earlier than your scheduled appointment as it may take some time to locate and call the student from class.
