Student Park Application Process

The Student Parking Application process for the 2026-2027 School year will begin on Monday August 3.

First Week of School:  Students may park on campus without a parking permit until Friday, September 11th.  Starting Monday, September 14th, students who park on campus MUST have a current, valid, parking permit; NO EXCEPTIONS!!!  Pay attention to these messages and announcements for when permit distribution will take place.  Than being said, Juniors MUST still park in the Junior lot and Seniors have the privilege of parking in the Baker Lot the first 3 days of school.  If a Junior parks in the senior lot OR we have reasonable suspicion that a Junior has parked in the Senior lot, their parking privileges will be revoked for 10 weeks, no exceptions.
 

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 online, 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.


New this year.  We no longer will be using REMIND as an emergency message system.  The district will be moving over to a new platform called Parent Square.  When filling out the application in the parent portal, it is imperative that you enter the STUDENT’S phone number.  This will automatically enroll the student into the Parent Square. 

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:

The Google Classroom will open on August 3: Classroom Code Is: yurv5s3

PARKING ORIENTATION VIDEO: IMPORTANT

The parking orientation video will be available in the Parking Google Classroom from August 3, 2026 until May 21 2027.  You will not be able to view the video after May 21.  Anyone planning on driving to school during the 2026-27 school year must join the parking Google Classroom and view the video before they receive their permit.   There are NO EXCEPTIONS.  Juniors and Seniors will be reminded at their opening day assemblies.

 

PARKING PERMIT DISTRIBUTION:

With the exception of the beginning of the school year, once the application process has been completed, the student will allow at least 2 school days to receive their parking permit.  Upon receiving their permit, they MUST produce their current Student I.D. Card and their valid NYS driver's license. 

(In the beginning of the school year, there will be designated times for students to receive and pick up their parking permits after school.  After the initial distribution, students can pick up their permits in the Baker foyer before school between 7:00 am and 7:15 am)
