Student Parking [HS]

The school is not responsible for student vehicles, any possessions left in them, or anything attached to the vehicles.  STUDENTS PARK THEIR VEHICLES ON OR NEAR SCHOOL PROPERTY AT THEIR OWN RISK.  Students should be aware their vehicles are not protected in any way while in the parking lot, and items of value should not be left in or near the vehicle while unattended.

Students have no reasonable expectation of privacy in cars parked on school grounds.  School lots are regularly searched by contraband dogs, administration, and police officers.  Students should be aware that items and spaces on school grounds are subject to search and view by others, and that prohibited items discovered during the course of a search may result in discipline, including, but not limited to, expulsion from school.

Students must park in their assigned location.  Any exceptions must be made in advance and approved by the building principal or designee.  Student vehicles MAY NOT be parked or located in the bus lanes or fire lanes at ANY TIME.  Bus lanes and fire lanes are clearly marked.  Vehicles located in these locations may be ticketed and/or towed by the police. 

Video cameras may be active in parking lots and may be used for the purposes of investigation into student misconduct. Discipline for misconduct includes all disciplinary measures in the student discipline code and/or withdrawal of parking privileges.

The Parking Permit form for high school students can be found on the Student Services homepage.
