Driving / Parking Regulations for MSHS

It is a privilege for MSHS students to operate and park a motor vehicle on campus. By issuing a permit, SVSD and/or MSHS does not assume liability for any property damage to any private vehicle parked on its property. Due to limited parking spaces, MSHS students are encouraged to use district-provided transportation or carpool with fellow students. To support safety and security on campus, students driving vehicles to MSHS will follow these principles:

1. ***NEW*** For the 2023-2024 school year, parking will be open to any student with a permit, on a first come first serve basis. Any student who completes the application will be issued a permit. It is up to the student to arrive in time to secure a parking spot in our approved student lots.

2. Each driver must complete and submit the MSHS Parking Permit Google Form, providing all required documentation or they will not be considered for a parking permit. 

   1. • Provide a copy of a current, valid drivers license

      • Proof of insurance

      • A signed MSHS Student Driving & Parking Consent Form

      • Have all fines and fees cleared. 

(Completing a Parking Application Form in anticipation of getting a license sometime during the year is not allowed. Parking application should be completed once the student has earned their license and we will issue parking permits on a rolling basis.)

3. Vehicles must properly display a valid MSHS parking permit in the front windshield in clear view. If more than one vehicle is registered, it is the student's responsibility to transfer parking permits between the vehicles. Replacements for lost or stolen permits will cost $30.

4. The school district/school is not responsible for your automobile, its contents, or damage to private vehicles either on or off school property. The school district/school is also not responsible for theft or vandalism that may occur to a vehicle while parked on our lot or in the vicinity of the school.

5. The speed limit is 10mph on all school premises. Entrances, exits, and directional markings are to be followed at all times. Inappropriate driving will result in a ticket/fine, discipline or loss of parking privileges.

6. Students are not to be in any of the parking areas except for coming to and leaving from school. Automobiles are not to be used for storage during the school day. Students who are found in the parking lot or loitering in their vehicle during the school day are subject to discipline. Students who have a legitimate need to return to their vehicles during the school day will check in with an administrator and obtain permission.

7. Students are expected to keep the parking areas clear of litter and to use garbage cans around campus as needed. 

8. MSHS administration have the authority to conduct a search of student vehicles when they determine to have "reasonable suspicion" that a student is in possession of drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weapons, or any other item that students are not allowed to have at school. Policy #3230/3230P

9. Reproducing parking permits will result in student discipline and immediate loss of parking privileges. 

10. Tickets: Students who park onsite without a permit will be ticketed. Students whoa re in restricted areas will be ticketed. Students who register multiple vehicles but fails to transfer parking permits between vehicles will be ticketed.
