Student Automobiles
Student parking is in the upper lot. Students are not permitted to park in front of school, in the lower parking lot, in the first two rows of the upper parking lot, or anywhere reserved for faculty members and guests. Students illegally parked will receive five demerits and cars may be towed. Because the area has been designated a “Fire Lane,” no one is to park in the front circle driveway at any time.
Students must register their cars in the school office by presenting a valid driver's license along with make of car, color, and license number. Parking passes will cost $40.00 per year and will be limited to one per family. Students may park only in their assigned parking places. Students reserving parking spots should drive almost every day. Reserved parking places may not be sold by students. Students are strongly urged to car-pool and share a space.
Safety in the school parking lot is important. Reckless driving will not be tolerated in the parking lot or while entering or leaving the parking lot. Students are liable for up to ten demerits for reckless driving, and students who continually violate the rules could lose their driving privileges. Students involved in life-endangering situations may be suspended or expelled.
