Important Information for PARENTS AND STUDENTS:
THE SYSTEM FOR STUDENT PARKING
FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR.
Due to the limited number of student parking spaces, student parking permits will be issued to seniors only. Therefore, NOT all seniors who apply will be guaranteed a parking permit.
The 2024-2025 Student Parking Lottery Application for the Class of 2025 will be available online. Any student wishing to have a parking spot on campus must complete the online registration.
ONLY students in the senior class who have a legal/valid driver’s license, appropriate insurance, a 2025 Fall schedule that shows 12th grade, and no severe disciplinary issues (no more than 5 suspension [ISS/OSS] days OR no more than 20 unexcused absences/tardies in 2023-24 school year) will be eligible to enter the parking lottery.
Permits will be issued based on a lottery drawing of all eligible applications. No requests for parking permits will be granted once the permits have been issued through the lottery drawing. An additional 25 student names will be drawn and put on a waiting list. This means that if a student who obtains a parking space on campus loses his/her privileges due to discipline or attendance infractions, that student’s parking space would be made available for the next student on the waiting list.
Parking spaces at St. Luke's Presbyterian Church (at the corner of Mt. Vernon and Vermack) will be sold to seniors on a first come basis until end of day August 8th. Parking spaces at St. Luke’s will be available for sale to juniors on August 9th.
On or before July 21st, seniors should complete the online registration and upload a copy of their driver’s license and insurance. , (12th grade must be on the schedule). Seniors not in attendance at the drawing may upload the application with all the necessary forms completed: two page application AND a photo copy of the senior’s driver's license must be submitted by the deadline of 3:30 pm, on July 21st.
