Parking on the Seymour High School campus during school hours is permitted by parking permit only. Operating and parking a motor vehicle on Seymour High School property during school hours is a privilege available for senior students. Parking permits will be issued on a first-come basis after the proper forms have been filled out. All parking permits will be issued at the Main Office.

If there are available parking spaces on campus after spaces are issued to seniors, juniors may apply for parking privileges and the right to operate a vehicle on school grounds. Spaces issued to juniors may be taken back during the course of the school year to allow seniors who require a parking space to park on campus. Spaces taken back from juniors will be done by a lottery.

The following regulations apply during school hours to all students that have been issued a parking permit:

1. Each student must display an official parking permit, corresponding to their assigned parking space, from their vehicle’s rear view mirror at all times when parking on campus.
2. Once a student parks his/her vehicle on campus, he/she must immediately enter the school building.
3. Students must operate their vehicle in a slow, safe manner and obey all traffic control signals.
4. Students must obey all directives from any staff member regarding parking and/or operation of the student’s vehicle.
5. If a student does not consistently use his/her parking space, it will be forfeited.
6. If a student’s right to park/operate a vehicle on campus has been suspended or revoked, and their vehicle is found on campus, it will be towed at the owner’s expense.

Any violations of the aforementioned regulations or the following infractions will result in the loss of parking privileges and the right to operate a vehicle on campus for the stated number of school days listed below:
