Parking Application/Contract

You will receive an email within 72 hrs on the status of your application!

Please read and understand that parking is a privilege, not a right. Special attention will be given to student drivers who are tardy/late to school.  TARDY/LATE DRIVERS WILL LOSE PARKING PRIVILEGES.  STUDENT DRIVERS WILL THEN NEED TO RIDE THE SCHOOL BUS OR FIND AN ALTERNATE WAY TO GET TO SCHOOL ON TIME. THE REGISTRATION PROCESS FOR GETTING A SCHOOL BUS RIDE IS NOT AN OVERNIGHT PROCESS. PLEASE PLAN ACCORDINGLY.
