ALL students who drive to school MUST have a 2024/25 parking tag displayed from their rearview mirror to park in the student lots at Fraser High School. These tags are blue or gray in color. Previous year tags are not valid. Security checks for valid tags, along with enforcing all the FHS Driving & Parking Lot Rules, will continue throughout the school year. Untagged vehicles may be ticketed or towed. Students who violate the parking rules may have their permit suspended or revoked and face the possibility of disciplinary action (suspension from school) by the school’s administration.

Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors may purchase parking permits before or after school in Mr. Baker’s office, room #2710. Permits are sold on a “first come, first served” basis. Parking Permit Applications are available in all the Asst. Principal Office locations.

As we look forward to another school year, please take a moment to review the process that we have in place for traffic flow in our parking lots, so that everyone can enter and exit as quickly and efficiently as possible.

• If you live in our bussing area, please have your child take the bus.
• If you need to drop your student off, please try to do so before 7:10. There is very little waiting at that time.
• Please use the Klein road parking lot for drop off. This parking lot is usually much less congested.
• If you use the Garfield parking lot, please pull to the curb to drop your child off, and then proceed down past the main entrance before turning left to get in line to exit. Please do not use the parking lanes before the main entrance to enter the exit line.

Thank you for your help and support.

Ryan D. Sines, Ed.S.
