Student Parking

Parking Information

As the new school year approaches we would like to provide some information regarding the parking process at St. Charles North High School. Preferences for even or odd day parking will be accommodated, as always, on a first-come first-served basis. Also, not new is that everyday parking is ONLY for students who have an academic class that requires driving. Please read and carefully review the information below so that if you are intending to purchase a parking permit this year, you possess the needed documentation on Materials Pick Up Day.

Requirements:

• A completed Parking Permit Form 

• A valid driver’s license 

• Completed Parking Signature Form

• $100 payment for the permit (done through Pushcoin, cash, or check)  

Directions:

• Complete the Parking Permit Form, making sure to fill out the form that corresponds with your child’s year in school (junior or senior).  All of the requested information must be filled out and the Parking Signature Form  must be signed by a parent or guardian and turned in during Material Pick Up.  Incomplete forms will not be processed. 

• Students and parents should acquaint themselves with the rules and expectations outlined in the Student Parking Regulations document.   

• If you submit your parking application, at least, the day before a material pick up date, you will be charged through Pushcoin.  If you do not submit your application prior to the day before a material pick up, or you prefer to pay with cash or check, you can pay in person when you hand in your signed signature sheet.  However, payment, or proof of payment, must be provided to receive the permit.

• Students must present their valid driver's license at their Materials Pick Up appointment. If they do not have a driver’s license yet, or they forget to bring it, they will not be given a permit at that time.  Students without valid licenses will have their permits held until they can produce one.  

• Staff will make sure that the application form has been submitted, that the student has submitted a Parking Signature Form, that the parking fee has been paid, and that the student’s driver’s license is valid.  Once all points have been covered, the student will be given a parking permit. 

• If you have any further questions please contact your dean.

Lottery

Applications submitted after Materials Pick Up will be entered into a lottery (if there are any parking spots remaining). We are aware that sometimes families tend to take vacation during Materials Pick Up, therefore, any parking permits not claimed at Materials Pick Up Days are held by the office until the second week of school.  If they are not claimed by students looking to purchase an initial pass, then they will be put back into circulation through a lottery process. In the lottery, it is possible that a student could receive the opposite day's parking permit.  After the lottery, students will be notified if they are eligible to receive a parking permit (or a second parking permit) and need to pay an additional $100, no later than two weeks after they have been notified. Early graduates and transferring students who do not finish the year will return their passes to the Student Life Office for other students to be able to park.  Pro-rated refunds will be given to early graduates and transfers.  They do not have permission to sell or give their passes to other students.  Students and families will be notified if they submitted an application and did not receive a permit. 

Everyday Parking 

Seniors and juniors enrolled in academic-related programs (ECC Part-time Dual Credit Courses, CO-OP, Teaching and Learning Practicum, Internships, and BNAT or Cosmetology through Fox Valley Career Center) will be given priority for an Everyday Permit given the transportation requirements of their SCN related academic program. As outlined by the Registrar’s Office, moving out of district boundaries is not a qualifier for everyday parking. 

SCN administration understands that each student/family has unique needs and challenges that can be potentially assisted by the ability for a student to receive an everyday parking permit. However, we cannot prioritize the needs of our students/families, and therefore, the best way to obtain a parking permit is to ensure your application for a parking permit is submitted correctly. 

Underclass Parking

Sophomores are not eligible to apply for parking permits. If a sophomore is found parking on campus during the current school year, they may become ineligible to apply for a permit junior year. 

Handicapped Parking

Students requiring handicapped parking, must get a note from their doctor that is then presented at the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).  They will then be issued a handicapped permit. Handicap permits are not issued by the school. 

Temporary Parking

Temporary parking is for students who are in possession of a current parking permit and are in need of parking on an emergency basis. Students must receive approval from their dean to obtain a temporary pass. Reasons to use a temporary pass could potentially include: doctor/dental appointments, or court appearances, and having verification of a permit from the Attendance/Dean's Office to leave the building. Participation in morning and after school activities or AP testing are not considered valid reasons to purchase temporary parking.
