Transportation

Students provide their own transportation to and from Foothills Academy. Student parking is available for Senior driven carpools only on a first come, first served basis. All Seniors who choose to drive to school are required to carpool, providing transportation to Foothills Academy for at least one other Foothills Academy student. All families are encouraged to carpool.

Carpooling

WHY CAR POOL?
Parking is limited here on campus, with only enough spaces for faculty, staff, and qualified Seniors. We do not subscribe to a bus service, so all students must make their own transportation arrangements. We highly recommend carpooling, whether you are a driving Senior or a parent dropping off students. To facilitate the process, we have created carpooling zones in the area surrounding Foothills (see diagram). Our system is simple and effective. To participate, go to the FAPTO website and complete the carpool registration process. It will only take a few minutes of your time. Thank you for your cooperation!

Parking Rules

Student parking is available for Senior driven carpools only on a first come, first served basis. All Seniors who choose to park at school are required to carpool, providing transportation to Foothills Academy for at least one other Foothills Academy student. All solo drivers may park at Cave Creek Church located at 6107 E. Lone Mountain Road, provided they carpool from there to campus with a senior.

• No parking is permitted on Ashler Hills Drive, Calle de las Estrellas, Scottsdale Road or adjacent to the red painted curbs in the school parking lot.
• No parking for students will be allowed in Reserved or Visitor marked parking spaces. Improperly parked cars will be towed at the owner’s expense.
• No parking is allowed in any of the fire lanes (designated with red curbs). Do not leave your vehicle unattended in the fire lanes at any time.
• Please keep unnecessary trips to the school at a minimum by making sure your student has everything needed for the day (e.g. lunch, school project, homework).

Should you need to drop something off for your student, please do not leave your vehicle. Rather, please call the front office and someone will pick the item up from you in your vehicle. For longer visits to the school (e.g. sign out of student for doctor’s appt.), please park in one of the 2 designated visitor spaces.

It is important that these rules be followed at all times. Thanks again for your cooperation.
