From the Office of Student Affairs
Parking:
As a reminder, s
tudents who request permission to drive to school must do the following
- Return the completed Student Parking Agreement and Vehicle Registration Form and pay the $50.00 parking fee to the Office of Student Affairs. The fee will be 25.00 at the beginning of the second semester.
- Park in their assigned parking spot. Display their hangtag on their rear view mirror.
- Observe the 15 mph speed limit in the parking lot and maintain safe driving habits at all times.
Students who park on school grounds without purchasing a parking space will be issued 5 demerits and must follow the above parking procedures. Additionally, students who do not comply with the Parking Lot regulations may receive demerits, be towed at owner's expense, or lose their parking lot privileges.
Parking Lot Reminder:
The morning student drop off has been going very smoothly. Please continue to use the parent drop off lane in the rear of the building to drop off students in the morning to ensure the safety of all students. Please pull forward to the top of the lane so that traffic does not back up into the side parking lot. Students should not exit parent driven vehicles in the travel or bus lanes of the student parking area; this jeopardizes the safety of the students.
Note: For safety reasons, students are not allowed to loiter in the parking lot in morning or in the afternoon. Failure to comply with this directive, may result in the student lose of their parking lot privileges.

Parents are reminded that all Juniors need a physical. Please schedule appointments if physicals haven't been returned yet and return completed forms to the nurse's office.
If a sports physical becomes a year old during a sport season, there is a 10-day grace period from the date of the last physical to obtain a new one. If no physical is returned at the end of the 10-day grace period, the athlete must sit out of sports until a new physical is returned and cleared. If possible, a courtesy reminder will be sent from the nurse's office, but as noted in the student handbook, it is the responsibility of the student/parent to ensure sports physicals are current.
Please contact Mrs. Veneziani in the nurse's office with any questions.
