2026-2027 Arrival and Dismissal Procedures

Dear Pensacola High School Families,

As we prepare for the start of the 2026–2027 school year, we want to share several important updates to our arrival and dismissal procedures. These changes have been implemented to improve safety, traffic flow, and create a more efficient arrival and dismissal experience for all students and families.

A detailed Arrival & Dismissal Map is attached 

for your reference. Please take a few minutes to review it before the first day of school.

Please expect traffic patterns to be different during the first few days of school as everyone adjusts to the new procedures. We appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work together to ensure a safe and successful start to the school year.
