STUDENT PARKING APPLICATION PROCESS 2024-2025

  • The Student Parking Application process for the 2024-2025 School year will begin on Monday August 5th.

     

    Student parking is a privilege.  All vehicles on school property during the school day MUST display a current, valid parking permit.  The parking application is free, so there is no excuse for not having a permit on the vehicle if the student is driving to school.

    ***Students should not drive to school with the anticipation of receiving their parking permit that day unless given permission from Mr. Biondo.

    Applications for student parking permits should be completed on-line, on the parent portal.  The application is only available on the parent portal, NOT the student portal.  Our suggestion is to have the parent and student complete the form together.  There is currently NO charge for student parking.  However, you MUST complete the entire application process to receive a current, valid permit. You must hit SUBMIT once you have filled out the application.  Parents and students must be familiar with the rules and expectations.

    ***Please DO NOT USE a cell phone, tablet or chrome book to fill out the application.  You must use a computer.

    Student Parking Privileges are reserved for Seniors and Juniors ONLY.  Sophomores, even if they are of age and have a NYS Drivers' License, are NOT permitted to drive to school under any circumstances. 

    Below is the initial application process we would like you to follow:
