Parking Lot, Security and Rules
Direction to Parking Lot A: use the White Plains High School entrance at Bryant Ave, follow the “Student Parking” sign to the West/Main parking lot. An entrance to the building will be provided close to Lot A. This entrance will continue to be open between 9:20 and 9:50 AM for the rest of school year.
If you enter from the North street to access to Lot A, do not violate the traffic rules by entering the “One Way” lane from an opposite direction. Drive forward further. You will be closer to the entrance to the building.
For your safety, security team would like to remind all parents:
• Do not drop off your kid(s) close to the North Street entrance
