Students are required to complete a parking request form on MY PAYMENTS PLUS and complete a payment of $10. Students must have purchased their parking permit by the end of the first full week of school. Citations will be issued on Monday following the first full week of school.  Students participating in any of our after-school extracurricular activities (sport, club, or band) must select a parking area closest to where they will be once their extracurricular activity ends. Ex: football, XC, track, tennis, etc. must park by the field house or tennis courts. Interns will be required to park in the front circle. Students are not permitted to drive to their after-school extracurricular activity location during school hours. On MyPaymentsPlus, you will select a parking zone to have your parking spot in. All parking spots will be issued based on your requested zone, to the best of the school’s ability. 

Parking permits will be issued to students based on their class seniority:  Seniors -> Juniors -> Sophomores -> Freshmen

Seniors: At the beginning of each school year, senior parking permits/tags will be issued to seniors during their tiger family by the parking committee members once all requirements have been met (i.e. completed form on MPP and $10 payment received). Permits/tags will be hung on the rearview mirror, facing out of the vehicle, and must be easily seen. Permits/tags will be numbered and will correspond to their numbered parking stall. If a permit/tag is lost/stolen, the front office will issue a new one. Tiger Stripe students who have earned the privilege of painting their spot shall leave a 6” buffer space between all lines and around the stall number.

Metal Detectors

To ensure a safe and secure environment on all campuses, School Board policy permits unannounced searches of students, employees and school visitors both during the school day and at school sponsored events.

Metal detector searches may be conducted by law enforcement, school personnel, or a combination of both. During screenings, individuals may be asked to walk through a metal detector while keeping items such as keys, phones, and wallets on their person. If the metal detector is activated, the individual will be asked to remove items and proceed through the detector a second time. Should the detector activate again, the individual will be directed to a secondary screening with a handheld security wand. If the handheld wand also activates, a law enforcement officer will perform an additional screening.

Following this process, and in the interest of school safety, individuals may be asked to leave School Board property at the discretion of law enforcement or school administrators.
