11. Once a student arrives in the parking lot he/she is to remain on the premises.
12. No one is allowed to sit in a car or allow anyone else to do so after arriving on school property.
13. Entrance to and exit from the premises is to be made by means of the main driveway to State Road, Riester Street, or Forest Hills. Exiting and entering via St. Anthony driveways is not allowed.
14. Students and parents are reminded that traffic flow along the entire front of the building is one way from 7:00 a.m. to 8:30 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. to 3:00 p.m.
15. School buses that transport our students to and from school are on very tight schedules. Therefore, as buses are in the process of exiting the property, buses should have the right-of-way. Those waiting to pick up students should not park beyond the posted sign in the front of the building.
16. Motorcycles, large trucks, vehicles with plows or any other vehicle that may be deemed a safety hazard are not permitted in the parking lot.
17. The racing of engines, squealing of tires, and/or playing loud music is prohibited.
18. Handicapped parking is provided in the center of the front parking lot for only those vehicles that have a registered handicapped tag displayed.
Failure to abide by these rules will result in a parking ticket being issued. The fines levied for these tickets are $10.00. All parking fines must be paid at the Attendance Office within five (5) calendar days of issuance. Failure to do so will result in a $20.00 fine.
Serious or repeated offenses will result in school suspensions and/or suspension of driving privileges or, if necessary, towing.
PASSES
Passes are required of all students who are not in their assigned place during the course of the school day. All students who are in the building prior to 7:45 a.m. are expected to be in the cafeteria, chapel, library, or with a teacher. Juniors and seniors are also permitted to be in their hall. During the course of the school day, passes are obtained from the teachers or staff. Any student out of class without a pass will be issued a detention.

PREGNANCY POLICY
An unmarried girl who becomes pregnant will not automatically be dismissed from school. The Principal will decide on continued attendance and subsequent return of both the boy and/or girl involved, after counseling with the student(s) and consultation with the student's parents. Each case will be determined individually considering the student's welfare, the protection of the unborn child, and the welfare of the school.
PROM
Because this is a special event in the lives of our seniors, "Prom Day" will be a free day for the members of the senior class. Underclassmen attending the prom do not have this privilege but may request a half-day absence from the Assistant Principal of Young Men or Young Women.
The Padua prom is a specific school-sponsored event at a specific place during a specific time. This information is established yearly and provided to the students. Padua assumes no responsibility for the safety of students who choose to take part in other activities before or after the prom.
School rules, including those regarding tobacco, alcohol, and other controlled substances, apply at the prom as they do at other Padua sponsored functions.
Additional information and guidelines regarding prom are included in a special packet given to seniors in the spring. For clarification, please contact the school.
