You risk being ticketed anytime you are parked in the lot without a sticker or a temporary parking pass which can be obtained in the Dean's office.

  • Students with on campus drug/alcohol violations are subject to consequences in a manner deemed consistent with D127’s Extracurricular Code of Conduct, (see the D127 Student Handbook for additional information).

Consequences:

  • Parking privileges may be revoked for reckless driving in the vicinity of or on school property, for any violation of the Rules of the Road occurring on school property or in the immediate vicinity of the campus. Parking privileges may also be revoked for violations of any of the above expectations or for failure to maintain requirements.

  • Protocol for drug and/or alcohol infractions, (this would include (independent of each other): possession, sale, or being under the influence of alcohol or drugs while on school grounds):

- First infraction: 18 week loss of parking. In the event that the school year ends prior to the conclusion of any loss of parking suspension, that suspension will continue into the following school year for so long as it was determined that this privilege was to be revoked. Students whose suspended parking privileges carry over into the following school year will not be allowed to purchase a parking permit until that student’s parking privileges have been reinstated.

- First offenders will be given the opportunity to reduce their suspension to nine weeks by completing an approved D127 youth evaluation and any subsequent recommended program.

- A second drug and/or alcohol violation will result in loss of parking for one calendar year.

- A third drug/alcohol violation will result in that student losing their parking privileges for the remainder of their high school career.

****Cars without tags, cars not parked in their assigned parking space, cars improperly parked and cars belonging to students whose parking privileges have been revoked may be towed at the student/owner's expense - the student is also subject to school disciplinary action - which may include suspension.
1. Cars that park in a parking space that is not their own will receive two (2) warnings. On the 3rd offense, the vehicle will be towed.
2. If someone is parked in your assigned parking space when you arrive at school, park in one of the non-numbered spaces and come to the Deans’ Office immediately to report the situation. If possible, take a photo of the license plate of the car parked in your space.
3. Cars parked on campus that DO NOT have a valid parking tag will be given 2 warnings and a phone call home. On the 3rd offense, the vehicle will be towed.
