Attention all student drivers! To keep our campus safe and ensure we remain good neighbors to the community, please review the following parking lot expectations.
Driving
· Speed Limit: The parking lot speed limit is strictly 5 mph. Slow and steady keeps everyone safe.
· Keep it Quiet: Please avoid excessive revving or unnecessary engine noise. Let’s keep the volume down while on school grounds.
· Respect Others' Property: A reminder to leave other people’s vehicles alone. Treat every car in the lot with the same respect you’d want for your own.
Building Expectations
· Clear the Lot: The parking lot is not a hangout spot. It must be clear during class time.
· Off-Campus Classes: If you have an off-campus period but are staying at school, you must be working in the Library or the Commons. Students are not permitted to loiter in their vehicles or the parking area during instructional hours.
Note: Failure to follow these guidelines may result in a loss of parking privileges. Let’s look out for one another and drive responsibly!
