如果我送孩子上学迟到了怎么办?

Lower School parents should park in the Quad and walk their child(ren) to the Lower School Office.

Students are not permitted to ride a different school district bus (no exceptions) than their own, ie. no playdate transportation is allowed.
Blue Notes must be used in the Lower School any time your child(ren) has a change in their normal transportation schedule.
All behavioral issues that may happen while a child is riding the school bus will be reported to their Division Office and will be dealt with by the Division Head.

SEPTA

Germantown Academy is located directly across Bethlehem Pike from the Fort Washington train station. Students who use SEPTA take the Lansdale/Doylestown (also known as the R5 line) from the suburbs and the city each day. There is a cross walk over Bethlehem Pike, 另外还有一条横穿莫里斯道的人行横道，方便学生安全出行. 许多学生成群结队地使用这种公共交通工具.

Drop-Off/Pick-Up and Parking

Cars must drop their passengers off curbside along the Quad or the Middle and/or Upper School buildings. Parents staying past drop-off time will need to park in a visitor space which can be found in the Main Lot near the entrance to the Korman Family Pavilion (between the Middle and Upper Schools), or on the Bus Lane.

虽然数百名学生乘公共汽车上学，但更多的人乘汽车回家. 下午有特定的取车入口, 取决于你孩子的年级水平, which begins at approximately 2:50pm. Again, several members of the GA faculty and GA security staff are on-hand to assist in the daily dismissal process. 重要的是要记住，在校园里开车时不能使用手机.
