PARENTS AND STUDENTS:

Thank you for your continued patience with our parking situation. We would like to remind you that parking is restricted to marked parking stalls only.  We have been notified, by the police department, that cars that are parking in areas that are not designated for parking will receive a citation.  This includes, but is not limited to, handicap parking without a permit, parking on curbs and against the eastern parking lot border.  Please avoid receiving a citation by only parking in designated parking stalls. The projected end date for the limited use of the parking lot is May 5, 2017.  Thank you again for your patience during this time.
