Student Parking Information - 2024-2025 School Year
The 2024-2025 parking application is available now. Students can select their parking spots for the upcoming 2024-2025 school year in the weeks listed below. Students MUST have a valid driver’s license, current auto insurance and a completed parking application prior to going to the Bookstore to select their spot. Click here to learn more about student parking. Students will receive a numbered parking placard that matches their parking spot, violations will be handed out if students are not parking in their assigned parking space. Two or more violations could result in loss of parking privileges.
Starting April 1st, 2024 @ 7am, once the application is completed your student can see Mrs. Arceo in the Bookstore to choose their parking space for the upcoming year. This will be on a first come, first served basis. We will begin with our incoming Seniors, followed by our incoming Juniors, next our incoming Sophomores following the schedule as listed below:
- Week of April 1st - Class of 2025 Parking Spot Selection
- Week of April 15th - Class of 2026 Parking Spot Selection
- Week of April 22nd - Class of 2027 Parking Spot Selection
Remember, you must complete the 2024-2025 parking application before your student can see Mrs. Arceo to select their parking space. Please make sure you receive a confirmation acknowledging a submitted application. I recommend you have your student have their driver's license and insurance (make sure the dates are current) with them or at least pictures of them to show Mrs. Arceo. Sometimes the documents may not load correctly and in the past, this has caused students to have to step out of line to complete it or call a parent. Do not fill out the parking application if your student will be receiving their license during the summer, please wait to fill it out when you can upload the graduated driver's license form or ID. If you have any questions, please email Mrs. Arceo (arceo.laura@cusd80.com).
Families will be able to pay for the $80 Parking Permit starting July 1, 2024. Fees must be paid by 11:59 PM, July 19, 2024. If fees are not paid by this time, the space will be released and open to other students. Beginning July 17, 2024, students who have paid their $80 fee may pick up their parking placard for their assigned space from our Bookstore and hang the placard in their vehicle prior to the first day of school.
If students would like to pick up their placard before the first day of school and the fee has been paid, Mrs. Arceo will be distributing parking placards before July 17th and will post dates and times in the Summer Knightly Newsletter and on her web page, located under "helpful resources" on the ACP HS website.
