Campus Safety, Student Dismissal & Conduct

Alpha Academy Schools remains committed to providing a safe, orderly, and respectful environment for every student, staff member, family, and visitor. As part of that commitment, we are asking all parents and guardians to review several important safety expectations related to arrival, dismissal, driving on campus, student pickup, and conduct.

During dismissal, parents and guardians should remain in designated waiting areas and follow the established pickup process. Please do not bypass the lineup, enter restricted areas, or attempt to access school grounds while classes are still in session or while early dismissal procedures are underway. Excessive pedestrian traffic near the entrance circle can create unnecessary congestion and increase safety risks for students and vehicles.

Families are also reminded to drive slowly and carefully throughout the entrance circle, parking areas, and surrounding school property. We understand that delays happen, but speeding is never worth placing a child, staff member, or visitor at risk. Please allow enough travel time, remain alert, and remember that student safety is always more important than arriving quickly.

Children who require car seats or booster seats must remain properly secured while vehicles are moving on campus. Students should not be removed from safety restraints until the vehicle has come to a complete stop.

Alpha Academy also expects respectful behavior from all members of our school community. Parents are asked to communicate with school staff respectfully, even when discussing concerns or disagreements. Students should also be reminded to treat teachers, staff members, and classmates with respect. Bullying, intimidation, threatening behavior, and disrespectful conduct will not be tolerated.

Parents should also be aware that students walking to areas behind Tractor Supply, Jersey Mike’s, or other off-campus locations are not following normal school dismissal procedures. If a student is normally a car rider but a parent wishes to authorize the student to walk to another location or meet someone off campus, written parental authorization must be submitted to the school in advance. Any change to an established dismissal arrangement must be communicated to and approved by school administration.

Our goal is not to inconvenience families. These procedures are designed to prevent accidents, reduce confusion, and ensure that every Alpha Academy student arrives and departs safely.

Thank you for your cooperation, understanding, and continued support.

REMEMBER: STUDENT SAFETY IS EVERYONE’S RESPONSIBILITY!

Respectfully,
Chief S. De’Vaughn Johnson Sr.

Alpha Academy Schools

Alpha Academy is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and welcoming learning environment where every student feels valued, supported, and protected. Bullying has no place in our school community, and we believe that preventing bullying requires the involvement of students, families, teachers, staff members, and school leaders working together.

Throughout Bullying Awareness Month, Alpha Academy is emphasizing the importance of kindness, respect, responsibility, and looking out for others. Our “GOLD Against Bullying” message reminds students of four simple but powerful expectations: Give Respect, Offer Kindness, Look Out for Others, and Do the Right Thing. These values reflect the kind of school community we want to build every day—not only during the month of October.

Bullying can affect a student’s confidence, academic performance, emotional well-being, and sense of belonging. For that reason, Alpha Academy takes concerns about bullying seriously. Students are encouraged to speak with a trusted teacher, administrator, counselor, or staff member whenever they experience or witness behavior that makes someone feel unsafe, excluded, threatened, or disrespected. We also encourage parents and guardians to communicate with the school when concerns arise so that we can work together to address situations appropriately.

As part of our awareness efforts, students are invited to wear orange shirts on Friday, October 16, 2026, in support of Bullying Awareness Month. Bottoms and shoes must continue to follow the school dress code. Wearing orange is a visible reminder that our students stand together for kindness, inclusion, and respect.

At Alpha Academy, we want every student to understand that their words and actions matter. A kind word, an invitation to join a group, standing up for another student, or reporting harmful behavior can make a meaningful difference.

Together, Alpha Academy parents, students, and staff can continue building a school community where everyone feels safe, included, respected, and encouraged to succeed.

G — Give Respect
O — Offer Kindness
L — Look Out for Others
D — Do the Right Thing

Together, we are GOLD Against Bullying.

Alpha Academy would like to remind all families that parking for student pickup is not permitted at neighboring business establishments.

To help maintain a safe, respectful, and organized dismissal process, parents and guardians must not park at Jersey Mike’s, Harrell’s, Tractor Supply, or any other nearby businesses for the purpose of picking up Alpha Academy students.

These businesses serve their own customers and staff, and unauthorized parking during dismissal creates congestion, safety concerns, and unnecessary disruption for surrounding establishments. We ask all families to be considerate of our neighbors and to follow all school pickup procedures at all times.

Please use only the designated Alpha Academy student pickup areas when arriving on campus. Following the approved pickup process helps improve traffic flow, supports student safety, and ensures that dismissal runs as smoothly as possible for everyone.

Families should also be aware that repeated violations may result in citations. We appreciate your cooperation in helping us reinforce these expectations and maintain positive relationships with neighboring businesses.

Your support is essential in keeping our students safe and our dismissal procedures efficient. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter and for partnering with Alpha Academy to ensure a safe and orderly pickup environment each day.

If you have any questions regarding student pickup procedures, please contact the school office for additional guidance.

Parents,

We appreciate your patience with our morning arrival and afternoon dismissal processes.

Our goal is to get you through the line as quickly and efficiently as possible while maximizing safety for our students as they enter and exit vehicles.

Please review the following procedures:

Pre-K, Kindergarten & 1st Grade

• Follow the car line around to the back of the building.
• Pre-K parents: Please park and walk your student into the building.
• Kindergarten and 1st Grade parents: Continue around to the other side of the building and allow your student to exit near the Gym Lobby.

2nd–12th Grade

• Drive into the circle in front of the building, located between the High School building and the Main Entrance.
• Please pull as far around the circle as possible before allowing your student to exit the vehicle.

IMPORTANT NOTE: PIVOT POINT TRAFFIC PROCEDURE

View Pivot Point

At times, traffic may back up toward Raeford Road. To help reduce congestion and keep vehicles moving efficiently, some parents of students in Grades 2–12 may be redirected, or pivoted, to the rear of the High School building.

If you are directed to the rear of campus, please follow staff instructions and proceed to the alternate drop-off area located between the Main Auditorium and the Middle School entrance.

All students using this alternate route will enter the building through the Middle School door.

This traffic pivot will only be used when necessary to help relieve congestion and prevent traffic from backing up onto Raeford Road.

We appreciate your patience, cooperation, and attention to staff directions as we work to keep traffic moving safely and efficiently.

For the safety of our students and staff, please follow all instructions provided by staff members and officers on traffic duty.

Thank you!
