FAQs Are the parking passes first come first serve? What if my birthday is later and I haven’t taken my road test yet? Yes! You can apply and there WILL be a pass for you. You can still apply for a parking permit, but it not be granted until you turn in a copy of your driver’s license. We will keep your information on file for you. If I am ineligible/denied for a parking pass what can I do? Will I ever be able to get a parking pass? If you are denied your parking pass, there will be directions you will need to follow in your letter. You will be able to get your pass. You will need to make other arrangements to arrive to school on time, or take the school bus. You will need to follow the directions in your letter so you can get approved as soon as possible. Parking on campus without a pass will only result in further denial of your permit.

What happens if I have a parking pass but need to use a different car that day/switch cars/get a new car? Don’t forget to take your sticker out of your car! You will need to see Mrs. Mulvey with the registration of your new vehicle before school, so she can reassign the sticker to your new car. If you are unable to recover your parking sticker for some reason, see Mrs. Mulvey with your new registration, she will issue you a paper permit which you must display on your dashboard. What do I do if I lose my parking pass? See Mrs. Mulvey in room 154 first thing in the morning. Where can I park? ONLY BETWEEN WHITE LINES. There is a map included in the parking packet you will get tonight. Can I share my parking pass? NEVER share your pass for safety reasons. If you share/give away your pass, you will lose your privilege. Will my parking sticker come off of my window? Yes! What do I do if I come in and can’t find a parking space due to snow one day? See an SSO in the parking lot and he will help you. Do not create your own space.
