STUDENT PARKING APPLICATION PROCESS 2023-2024
-
Juniors: Make sure you park in the designated areas of the Junior lot down by the field house. Look at the Diagram You Received when you were issued your permit.
Student parking is a privilege. All vehicles on school property during the school day MUST display a current, valid parking permit. For the 2023-2024 school year, OPHS parking permits will be issued to students who are able to drive to school on a daily basis to alleviate congestion on school buses. 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 ot 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.
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:
