  • Guidelines RE: Parking, Drop-Off and Pick-up on A-SHAPE Days (11 & 12 January 2025)

Guidelines RE: Parking, Drop-Off and Pick-up on A-SHAPE Days (11 & 12 January 2025)

10 Jan 2025

The Ateneo Senior High Admission and Placement Exam (A-SHAPE) will be held on 11-12 January 2025, Saturday and Sunday. There will be two exam sessions on each of the two days: The morning session is from 7:30am to 12:00pm (with assembly at 7:00 am) and the afternoon session is from 1:30 pm to 6:00 pm (with assembly at 1:00 pm).

Assembly and lining-up of examinees will be in the 2nd Floor of the Formation and Learning Center (FLC) of the Senior High School. All examinees are expected to be in the assembly venue before 7:00 am and 1:00 pm respectively. At the assembly area, examinees will need to line up alphabetically by room number. Thus examinees must remember their exam room number, which will be emailed to them the day before the exam. (Examinees must have a printed copy of their exam permit, and are advised to write their room number at the back of their permit.) From the assembly area, examinees will be ushered to their testing rooms in the Senior High School Building at 7:10 am and 1:10 pm so that they may begin taking the exam at exactly 7:30 am or 1:30 pm respectively. Examinees will not be allowed to go directly to the Senior High School Building; all must go to the FLC. Examinees must not be late.

*Please expect heavy traffic in the High School complex on the test dates and make sure to plan accordingly.

The following guidelines regarding parking, drop-off and pick-up will be implemented to make the flow of traffic manageable. We ask the examinees and their parents, guardians, companions and drivers to observe the following guidelines.

1.   Entry gates and entry pass

For those with vehicles, enter through Gate 3.

For pedestrians:

If you are coming from the side of Aurora Blvd, you may opt to take a tricycle at the corner of Aurora Blvd and Katipunan. Tricycles with Ateneo stickers may bring you to the high school campus. However, if you opt to walk, enter through pedestrian Gate 1. On Saturday, at the Grade School Drop-off A (beside Gate 1), you may ride the special shuttle service (electronic jeep) that will bring you to the high school. This e-jeep will ply the following route: Gate 1 (Drop-off A) – Gate 2.5 (E-jeep waiting shed) – Senior High School FLC. Trips will be approximately every 15 minutes, from 6:00 am to 7:30 am, and from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm. This shuttle service will not be available on Sunday.

If you are coming from the side of UP, enter through pedestrian Gate 3.5 across Regis building, Katipunan. At the Northwest parking e-jeep waiting shed, which is beside the Arete building, you may wait for and ride the special shuttle service (electronic jeep) that will bring you to the high school. This special e-jeep will ply the following route: Northwest Parking (near Arete/Gate 3) – Senior High School FLC. Trips will be approximately every 15 minutes, from 6:00 am to 7:30 am, and from 11:30 am to 1:30 pm.

Please note that the e-jeeps may be delayed due to traffic and may be quickly filled with other passengers. Thus, you may also walk all the way to the Ateneo Senior High School from pedestrian Gates 1, 2.5 (across National Book Store and Jollibee) or 3.5. If you come early enough, a leisurely walk in the morning can be invigorating.

Other Access Gates

For the examinees who come from or have access through Loyola Grand Villas or La Vista, the Ateneo-Mangyan Gate (5) will be passable during the A-SHAPE. Pedestrians coming from Barangka may pass through the Hagdan Gate (6). These gates will be open from 5:30 am to 7 pm.

*All applicants are required to present their exam permits at all entry gates. Thus, examinees must have their printed exam permit ready. Examinees are also asked to leave copies of their exam permit with their companions and/or drivers, especially if these companions and/or drivers plan to leave the campus and re-enter at a later time to pick up the examinees. Drivers are asked to display the copy of the exam permit on the dashboard when entering the gates. Examinees and fetchers without exam permits will not be allowed to enter the campus.

2.  Drop-off Areas (before the exam) and Parking

For all examinees - Morning Session and Afternoon Session:

Vehicles may drop-off the examinees at the Senior High School Formation and Learning Center (FLC). but the vehicles cannot park or loiter in the vicinity of the FLC.

Vehicles must immediately exit the SHS area and either exit the campus or proceed to the parking areas. Parking will not be allowed in the vicinity of the Junior and Senior High School, but abundant parking will be available in the College campus, specifically the Bellarmine Carpark, North Carpark and the Northwest Carpark, near Arete (See map on the previous page).

After drop-off, examinees must immediately proceed to the 2nd Floor of the Formation and Learning Center. Examinees who come on foot must also proceed immediately to the 2nd Floor of the Formation and Learning Center. Note that examinees will not be allowed to go directly to the Senior High School Building.

3. Pick-up points after the exam

For examinees in the Morning Session:

Examinees will not be allowed to loiter in the high school area after the exam. 

Applicants who are on foot are requested to immediately leave the high school grounds and walk toward any of the gates of the campus to exit to Katipunan. All are reminded to bring umbrellas. Some may be able to catch the E-jeeps that will stop briefly near Moro Lorenzo Gym and Bay 2 after these vehicles have turned around from bringing the incoming afternoon examinees to the FLC.

Vehicles of morning examinees may pick-up the examinees at the Junior High School Bays 1 and 2 starting 12:10 pm. Morning examinees may wait along the Junior High School inner driveway, and then cross to Bays 1 and 2 using the pedestrian lanes once their vehicles are there. All examinees are reminded to bring umbrellas. Please note that vehicles will not be allowed to park and loiter in the High School driveways or parking bays. Vehicles that loiter in Bays 1 and 2 will be asked to exit the high school area. Applicants are asked to quickly board their vehicles and exit the high school grounds. This request is out of consideration for the afternoon examinees whose vehicles may be delayed if the vehicles of the morning examinees clog the lanes. We ask the morning examinees (and their drivers) to give utmost consideration to the afternoon examinees.

*Pick up of morning examinees in the Junior High School inner driveway will be allowed only in the case of strong rain.

For examinees in the Afternoon Session:

The afternoon examinees who finished the A-SHAPE may be picked up by their vehicles at the Ateneo High School driveway, Bays 1 and 2. Vehicles of fetchers for the afternoon exam will be allowed to park in the high school parking area starting at 4 pm.

Afternoon examinees may also choose to walk toward any of the gates of the campus to exit to Katipunan. (There will be no shuttle service to the gates.)

4. Waiting Area for Companions of Examinees

Parents and guardians of examinees who will choose to stay in the campus while waiting may stay in the Cafeteria on the first floor of the Formation and Learning Center (FLC). They will not be allowed to go up to the second floor examinee assembly area or to the Senior High School Building. Strolling anywhere else in the Ateneo High School premises while waiting is not allowed. Meals and snacks will be sold in the cafeteria.

Only one companion per examinee will be allowed. Companions who enter the FLC are asked to observe the proper dress code. No pets will be allowed in the waiting area or in the high school campus.

UP Town Center (mall) is near Ateneo, and may be a good place for companions to wait.
