To park on campus you must have already purchased a parking pass, have your vehicle registered with the school, and have your parking sticker visible in your car window. If you don't have a parking pass, you should not be parking on campus, you will be subject to being ticketed or towed.

Unfortunately at this time, there are no parking spots available.

Please remember YOU are responsible for your attendance.

Please remember that a student can not be checked out after 1:30 PM. If you have an appointment please plan accordingly. The best practice for checking out a student is to have the student bring a note to the Attendance Office before school so they can be given a pass to check out. This cuts down on class interruptions and students can swing by the attendance office to complete the check out process and meet you at your car.
