Student Driving/Parking on Campus

1)  Each student driving a car must register the car in the office.  All registrations should be completed and returned to the office on the first or second day of school, no later than the first week of school.  The cost of a parking permit for the school year is $30.00.  If a student parks a car on campus without a permit, the privilege of driving will be revoked and the car may be towed at the owner's expense.  In the event a parking permit is lost, a replacement may be purchased for an additional fee of $30.00.

2)  Parking tags may be transferred only to the vehicles listed on the Parking Tag Registration form or you may request a one-day pass.

3)  It is considered a privilege to park on campus.  Suspension of driving privileges, towing of vehicles, and/or suspension from school may occur when violations of these regulations occur.

4)  All traffic laws must be followed to and from school.  Racing motors, blowing horns, improper use of brakes, mufflers, loud music, hanging out of windows, etc. on school grounds or adjacent areas that cause disruption will result in the loss of the driving permit.  If a permit is lost, the student will not be allowed to drive the car to school until he/she secures another.

5)  Once a student enters campus, he/she is not allowed to leave.  All students should park and enter the building at once.  Loitering in the parking lot will not be allowed.

6)  Once a student enters the building, he/she can only return to the parking lot with the permission of an administrator.

7)  As a condition of being allowed to park on the school grounds, the student and the student's parent(s)/guardian(s) hereby agree to allow school officials to search any vehicle.  This includes the trunk and glove compartment areas of the vehicle whether or not it is the vehicle to which the parking permit specifically applies.  The school official will search the vehicle if he/she has reasonable suspicion to believe that the student has drugs, weapon(s), alcohol, or any prohibited substance as defined in the Alcohol and Drug policy of the Edgecombe County Board of Education.

8.  Students who leave campus without permission will have their driving privileges revoked.

9.  The speed limit in the parking lot is 5 miles per hour (mph).  There will be no speeding or any form of reckless driving on the school's campus.
