Only 150 year-long passes will be made available; all other passes will be purchased on a seasonal basis. Emergency passes can be purchased for $2.00/day.

3. If a student who is issued a pass is tardy 6 times, their pass may be revoked for the remainder of that season. Students will only be eligible to reapply for a new parking pass the next season at the discretion of the principal. Students who surpass 9 tardies for the year will lose their parking privileges for the remainder of the year. In addition, students who have accumulated 6 or more unexcused absences will also lose their parking privileges for the remainder of the year.

6. Students who park on school property without permission will be subject to progressive disciplinary action, can have emergency parking fees attached to their diploma, or in extreme circumstances, could have their vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.
7. Students must park in a parking space within the student parking lots. Students who park in the grass or along the curb are subject to disciplinary action.
