PARKING PERMITS!!!!!
The construction on our parking lots is in the past, and we have used our first semester without trucks and cement mixers to evaluate our parking lot use.
For this year ONLY, we will be able to offer permits to sophomores for second semester. Any sophomore who needs a permit should report to Mrs. Allen in the Bookstore for a Permit Application. Cost for a semester permit is $50.00.
Any junior or senior wanting a second semester permit also needs to contact Mrs. Allen. All students will need to bring in his/her drivers license and vehicle registration.
There are only 35 permits available so don’t wait! Students may make their payments now to secure a permit and then pick up their permit the last day of December finals.
