This license allows you to drive without adult supervision between the hours of 5 a.m. and 10 p.m. for the following:

  • Drive from your home to your school(s) of enrollment or school-sponsored activities using the most direct and accessible route. Public school students are limited to driving within the school district of enrollment or a contiguous district, and accredited nonpublic school students are limited to driving within a 50-mile driving distance. Activities must be at the school(s) you are enrolled in.
  • Drive to a school that is not your school of enrollment to participate in extracurricular activities. Activities must be in a contiguous (bordering) school district for public school students, or not more than 50 miles driving distance for private school students, and must be held at a site, facility, or school designated for the activity under a sharing agreement between schools or conducted at a site or facility that the school you are enrolled in has designated to accommodate extracurricular activities.

Student Parking

All students must have a minor school permit and register their vehicle via the parking application for their school (see below). Approval of a school permit does not guarantee a parking spot on school grounds. There is a $25 fee for unauthorized student parking. Please remember that students are permitted to park on school premises as a matter of privilege, not as a right.

The District reserves the right to tow a parked vehicle when it is improperly or illegally parked, poses a traffic hazard, or obstructs the normal movement of traffic, without prior notification at the subject’s expense.

Parking policies:

  • Signage in the lots must be followed. Students should park between two white lines.
  • Places where students cannot park (restricted areas):
      • Visitor parking
      • Handicapped parking (unless they possess a valid state permit)
      • Staff parking>
      • Fire lanes
      • Self-created parking spots
  • Students who are parked in restricted areas or whose vehicle does not contain a valid parking tag may be subject to a parking ticket or lose their ability to park on school grounds.
  • Cars which display offensive stickers, flags, or other devices expressing opinions offensive or objectionable may be asked to remove the offensive artifacts or to be parked off school grounds.

For more information, see Board Policy 0903.1.
