Lunch & Learn starts Monday, August 25, 2025.
Don't know what this is? Check out our Lunch & Learn page on the website.
We want all our DA students to arrive and leave school safely.
Please remember that there are no student drop-offs or pick-ups allowed on White Avenue in the senior lot. In addition, please do not block the bus loop.
For safety and traffic flow:
--> You cannot access San Diego Road from White Avenue.
--> The southbound lane of White Avenue is currently closed.
Thank you for helping us keep our students safe and traffic moving smoothly.
We are pleased that FDOT has opened a portion of White Avenue to improve some traffic flow around campus. White Avenue has only the north-bound lane open to traffic. Families may turn right onto White Avenue from San Diego Road only. The lane is not open to families wanting to make a left turn from White Avenue to San Diego Road. Please help keep everyone safe (students, families, and FDOT workers) by using only the north-bound lane for traffic flowing to Atlantic Blvd. Thank you for being so patient as we move through the school year.
Got the first-day jitters? Where do you go at the start of the day? Here is the schedule. Students will report to their 1st period class. We anticipate traffic and bus delays, so we will not go to Homeroom until after 1st block. There will be school-wide information given during the homeroom time.
We are looking forward to the big start to a new year!
