SUBJECT: STUDENT DRIVING
If you want your son/daughter to drive to school, parents/guardians and students should carefully read the guidelines together and complete the registration form which can be found at: STUDENT PARKING FORM 2023-24
The parking fee is $200 per school year and may be paid online. Fees are prorated throughout the year as follows:
November 7 - $150, January 22 - $100, April 15 - $50
Pay prorated fees in the North Campus Main Office or online.
Students who pay for their parking permit online and fill out the Student Parking Form by August 16, 2023 may pick up their passes during registration at the North Campus Welcome Center on Thursday, August 17 from 8 am to noon and 1 - 5 pm or on Make-Up Registration Day August 29 from 1 - 5 pm. After that date, passes can be picked up September 11-15 at either North or South Campus.
Driving is a serious responsibility. We value the safety and security of all drivers, their vehicles, and non-drivers and therefore expect adherence to the following responsibilities:
- A regular or temporary permit must be displayed, at all times, on any vehicle parked on campus. Fraudulent reproduction or use of a parking permit may result in a police citation and/or loss of parking privileges. Motorcycles and scooters will display a sticker.
- Replacement permits will be issued only with a signed note from a parent/guardian and a $5 replacement fee.
- Students without a regular permit are allowed 3 temporary permits a semester. You may get them in the front office at the beginning of the day.
- Students will park only in designated student lots. Student lots at North Campus are lots D, E and F (student area only). If these lots are full, park at the Mullett Ice Center as this area is also part of our parking spaces on campus. South Campus students will park in Lot B or the tennis courts.
- FSO late arrival parking is in lot E in the spaces outlined in white and the tennis courts (we still can't guarantee all FSO students will get an FSO spot as the numbers vary from year to year, but we are trying). You need a special FSO tag to park in these locations.
- Auto class students need a special auto class tag as well as their student permit. They park in spaces with an “A” marking on the pavement in lots G & H. Auto parking permits are issued by the autos teacher.
- Once in attendance at school, students are not permitted to enter the parking lot during the school day without permission from the office.
- Parking permits must be placed on the rear view mirror facing the windshield. Motorcycles and scooters must display the sticker on the back of the mirror or windshield.
- If a student has their parking suspended, they may not allow someone else with a parking permit to drive their vehicle to school.
- All traffic must stop when school buses are leaving the grounds.
- Conduct with automobiles will be governed by the laws of the State of Wisconsin. THE SPEED LIMIT ON CAMPUS IS 15 MPH!
- Any vehicle left on campus more than 72 hours, unless there are extenuating circumstances, may be towed.
- If you only drive first semester, you must turn your permit in to the office or you will be charged for second semester.
In an effort to provide a safe and secure area for student motor vehicles, and to effectively administer the flow of student traffic, the school has assigned a staff member to supervise and coordinate the motor vehicle program. In addition, police officers regularly patrol school grounds.
If you have questions regarding parking, please contact the North Campus office at 262-369-3612.
Sincerely,
Becky Gordon, Associate Principal

Violators will have 45 days to make payment. 30 days after the original violation, the registered owner of the vehicle will be contacted by the School Resource Officer in regards to the 45-day payment due date. If not paid within 45 days, an additional school parking violation fee ($100) will be issued. Repeat offenders may also receive a parking violation fee of $100. On date of violation, a student and guardian will be notified that the $100 violation fee will be added to the student's Skyward account. Each offense will be on a case by case basis. All contested violations may be reviewed by the School Resource Office, at the request of the student.
I also understand that I cannot hold the school responsible for damage or theft while my vehicle is parked on school property.
