Supervision
ATS provides supervision during class time only. ATS staff do not escort students to and from class. It is the responsibility of parents to drop their students off at the classroom and pick them up at the end of the class period. For student safety and security, parents should walk their students to class and must sign in at the start of class and sign out at the end of class.
