Parking

Parking on campus is a privilege. Therefore, certain rules and regulations are expected of the student to maintain this privilege. Upon receiving a school parking decal, the student assumes full responsibility for knowledge of all school rules (as specified in the Student Handbook and on this form) and realize that they will forfeit their parking privilege if they fail to obey these rules. Each student who drives an automobile to school must register the vehicle by purchasing a parking permit. The parking sticker decal MUST be permanently attached to the driver’s side windshield, in the lower corner. Do not place the sticker in the dark window tint at the top of the windshield. Students are reminded that ALL school rules are in effect in the parking area before, during, and after school. Parking permits may not be sold, traded, or transferred from one student to another. If so the students involved may be subject to disciplinary consequences.  DO NOT ALLOW ANOTHER STUDENT TO DRIVE USING YOUR DECAL EVEN IF YOU ARE RIDING WITH THEM. Replacement stickers are available for new and/or replacement vehicles. The original parking decal must be returned at the time of the replacement request. Failure to return the original parking sticker may result in the student having to register their vehicle again for $75.00.
