Los Altos High School

Parking & Drop Off/Pick Up

drop off/pick up

In order to prevent cars crossing over bike and pedestrian pathways, the following safety rules must be followed:

There is NO STOPPING on Almond Avenue in front of Los Altos High School. New city signage emphasizes that it is NOT PERMITTED TO DROP OFF OR PICK UP students on Almond Ave because doing so blocks bike and pedestrian pathways.
The student parking lot and the administration parking lot are CLOSED to drop off and pick up during school hours 7:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m because entering the lots crosses bike and pedestrian pathways.
U pass-through off of Almond in front of the library is open for drop-off and pickup.
