Student Vehicles, Driving, and Parking

Students who have a valid driver’s license may drive to the campus and are expected to follow the school traffic flow pattern and park their cars ONLY in designated parking spots (vehicles must be between parking space lines). Parking on the west (Commons) side of the building is not allowed. Parking violations will result in a ticket (fine). The school cannot be responsible for lost, damaged, or stolen items left in vehicles, or responsible for damage caused to vehicles while left in the parking lot.

• All student parking is on a first-come, first-served basis; there is NO designated parking for upperclassmen and students are not allowed to enforce such standards on other students.
• All students who drive are required to have their driver/vehicle information on file in the office.
• Students are required to follow the rules of safe driving and common courtesy. Reckless or unsafe operation of a vehicle will result in disciplinary action.
• Only juniors and seniors are allowed to drive off campus at lunch, and they are not allowed to take students underclassmen (grades 7-10) with them (see Off Campus Lunch Policy). Please remember that driving off campus for lunch is a privilege, not a right; as such, abuses of policies may result in revoking the privilege.
• At the discretion of an authorized teacher/coach, students with a valid driver’s license who are active participants in a school event (whether during or outside of school hours), may drive to that event once a parent permission slip has been signed and returned. This includes extra-curricular activities. Seniors and juniors are allowed to drive themselves and other juniors and seniors or siblings, but NOT other underclassmen. Sophomores who are licensed may only drive themselves and siblings (not other students).
• Students should not loiter in or around vehicles, or play music from their cars in the parking lot.
• Student vehicles parked on school property are subject to search as deemed necessary by school personnel.
• Students are not allowed to sit in their parked cars during lunch or off-periods.
