Students are to exercise the utmost caution driving in the school parking areas and must observe the maximum speed of 10 M.P.H. Students will also be expected to follow one-way signs and arrows as designated in the parking lots as well as all stop signs. Student drivers or passengers who endanger the safety of themselves or others will be subject to disciplinary action, which may include the loss of driving or parking privileges on campus. Permits may be revoked for abuse of specified rules. Be cautions at all times. There is not a right of way in the parking lot. It is recommended to slow down at every intersection and look for oncoming vehicles. Failure to follow parking attendant directives and/or running through a stop situation can result in loss of parking privileges.

If an accident does occur on campus it is the responsibility of the student who caused the damage to leave a note and report the incident to school administration. The incident needs to be documented and all parties need to be made aware of the situation for safety and transportation purposes.
