Drop off and Pick up
We encourage walking, biking, or scootering to school, or for some part of your journey. If you need to drop your child to school, or collect by car, we have a wonderful "Hug & Drop" bay at the front of our school, which is a pick up and drop off zone for parents and caregivers to utilise.
This zone is strictly NO PARKING between the hours of 8.30-9.00am and 2.30-3.30pm. Vehicles can stop to deliver or collect students from school but it is not intended for parking at these times.
Parent and visitor parking is in the school carpark off of Spark Road. There is a walkway through to the school from the carpark. The spaces at the front of the school are for staff, those with disabilities and quick drop off/pick up ONLY.

Proposed Routes: Coming soon
Walking school buses are a safe, environmentally friendly, social way of travelling to and from school. Students benefit from the exercise a daily walk provides. Having a walking school bus at our school will rely on parent help.
If you would like to volunteer to support one of our routes (or would like to suggest a new route) please email admin@ahutoetoe.school.nz.
