Parking Permits & Regulations

Permission to park at OJRHS is a privilege. Therefore, it is very important that any student who is issued a parking permit understands the conditions under which it is issued. They are as follows:

● The parking permit decal you receive is specific for the registered vehicle you indicate on your Student Parking Registration Permit form. If you change vehicles for any reason you must contact security personnel/school police officer with the new vehicle information to receive a new parking permit decal.

● Parking permits will only be issued to junior and senior students with valid driver’s licenses.

● All vehicles parked on school property must be officially registered with the Main Office.

● Students are only permitted to park in designated student parking areas.

● All vehicles must display a current parking sticker on the inside of the rear window on the bottom driver’s side.

● Fines will be assessed; driving privileges will be revoked, or school discipline issued for violations of the parking regulations.

The Security Department and High School Administration will attempt to provide the best opportunity for as many students as possible to park on campus. In this effort we will provide general and reserved parking permits this year. The parking fee is $55 for the year and $22 for a second parking permit.

General Parking Permit

This permit allows an individual student to park on campus in the designated student parking areas. Availability to park in these areas is limited and on a first-come basis. The number of permits issued for this category will be limited by the number of spaces remaining after all other parking assignments for staff, visitors, handicapped, and reserved parking areas are determined.

Reserved Parking Permit

Students who participate in the following programs will be eligible to acquire Reserved Parking Permits; Senior Privilege, Allied Health, Teacher Academy and Cooperative Education. These students must produce a copy of their schedule to indicate their participation in these programs when they register to receive Reserved Parking privileges.

Student Parking Information

The permits were manufactured to be installed on the OUTSIDE of the vehicle’s window. Because the permits need to withstand the outdoor elements, they are made with a stronger adhesive. It is recommended that they be placed only on non-painted surfaces. District policy requires they be place on the lower corner of the rear, driver’s side window as indicated here.

This year, all student permits have a number displayed on the permit. This number corresponds to the parking lot that you are assigned to. During school hours, the permit is only valid for the assigned lot. All parking lots have signage indicating the number of the parking lot. You must park in the assigned parking lot or you may be ticketed and lose your parking privileges.

Registration

The school administration will make every attempt to establish a registration process which allows all eligible students the opportunity to register for parking permits. If a student does not obtain a parking permit on the dates scheduled above, that student will not be able to park on school grounds until they register for their parking permit.

All permits must be pre-purchased via School Pay. Parking Permits can be picked up in the high school lobby on the following August 2022 dates:

•Tuesday, August 23rd from 12:00 pm to 3:00 pm

NOTE: Only one second car permit will be issued per student. This permit is registered under the same name as the original. A vehicle registration must be provided for the second car before a permit will be issued.

Regulations

Students operating a vehicle on campus are expected to do so responsibly. A student who commits any acts that violate parking and driving regulations will be issued a ticket/fine or have their permits suspended, revoked or receive school discipline. The following actions are considered violations of school regulations:
