Parking Lot Update
On July 11th we added twelve speed bumps to our student parking lot. Please, be aware of the change. As always, stay aware and safe in our school parking lot.

Parking permits must be purchased the day before you park at school.
If you park without a current parking permit, you may receive a citation.
Parking permits are available in the SRC (200 Bldg.) during tutorial, brunch and
lunch only.

Reminder:  Do not park without a valid permit. Vehicles improperly parked will be cited. 

Parking privileges are extended to seniors and juniors of West Ranch High School who hold a valid California driver’s license. If the student has unpaid parking citations, the fines must be cleared prior to purchasing a new parking permit.

Parking pass applications will be sent home in the summer registration packet and are also available, during the year, in the SRC located in the 200 building.

How to purchase a Parking Permit:

When can I purchase the Parking Permit?
Parking permits may be purchased during summer check-in and, during the school year, in the 200 building
Student Responsibility Center during tutorial, brunch or lunch. Permits will not be sold during class time.

**A PARKING PERMIT MUST BE PURCHASED THE DAY BEFORE YOU PARK ON CAMPUS**
Parking without a parking permit may result in receipt of a parking citation.

A PARKING PERMIT DOES NOT GUARANTEE THE STUDENT A PARKING PLACE AT ANY GIVEN TIME.

RULES:
1—Vehicles must park headed into the space.
2—Speed limit in the lot is 5 MPH.
3—Students may not park in any area for STAFF, VISITORS, RED ZONE, PLANTERS, CURBS OR NO PARKING AREAS.

PROCEDURES:
A parking permit DOES NOT GUARANTEE the student a parking space at any given time. However, no car will be admitted to the parking lot without a permit prominently displayed by hanging it on the rear view mirror with the permit facing the front of the car.

**CITATIONS MAY BE GIVEN FOR THE FOLLOWING VIOLATIONS:

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
1—Parking privileges are only on a first-come, first-served basis. The lot will be closed when it is full.
2—Students will only be allowed in the front parking lot (east of the main school entrance).
3—Lots on the side or behind the school are for faculty use only.
4—The parking lot is CLOSED to ALL students during CLASS PERIODS and during PASSING PERIODS.
