STUDENT PARKING POLICY

Students who wish to park on school property must secure a parking permit from the Attendance Office prior to the date of parking. Because parking spaces are limited, permits will be issued according to the criteria outlined below until all available spaces are assigned. Several spaces will be designated as temporary parking spaces for those students who have emergencies and need to park only one or two days during the school year. Parking permits will be valid for one school. The following criteria may merit the issuing of a parking permit.

Membership in OWE.
Staff requests transportation to school activities or field trips.
Seniors who have early job placement for CVCC class.
Extenuating home circumstances of a hardship nature which creates an extreme need for parking.
Seniors will be given consideration to park on the basis of need, distance from school, accessibility to public transportation and availability of parking space. When possible spaces may rotate to other seniors each grading period so many seniors have the opportunity to park sometime during the year.
