Driving & Parking News

The 2011-2012 school year will again require all Poudre High School students driving and parking on school grounds to obtain a new parking hang tag. All students and staff at Poudre High School are required to have a parking permit visible and the number readable from a distance whenever their vehicle is on Poudre High School grounds during school hours. Poudre High School will only issue 1000 permits for 2011-2012. Due to the limited number of permits available, it is highly recommended that students carpool or ride Poudre School District buses or public transportation to campus.
To receive your new parking permit five (5) items are required:
•Colorado driver’s license •Student Identification •Copy of your current vehicle registration •Copy of your current insurance card
•Completed registration form
Parking permits will not be given out unless these five items are provided, and
ALL PAST PARKING FINES MUST BE PAID IN FULL!

Traffic rules will be posted on bulletin boards located in Poudre High School and also printed on the parking permit application. Tickets may be issued for any violation, and after 2 tickets for any violation your vehicle may be booted and you will be sent to an administrator. For safety or disciplinary reasons driving and parking privileges on Poudre School District property may be temporarily
suspended or permanently revoked.

Poudre High School is private property and any vehicle on Poudre School District property is subject to all rules and regulations set by Poudre High School and/or Poudre School District. Please refer to the Poudre School District Student Code of Conduct booklet.

If you have any concerns about parking or driving, or for a ticket you have received, please contact
a Campus Security Officer. We will work with the students to resolve any problems.
IMPORTANT!!
Parking permits WILL NOT be issued unless all fines are cleared! Incoming students should make sure ALL fines are paid at the junior high school they attended. Fines will be transferred with records.
Student Drop-off and Pick-up Regulations
If you are dropping your student off or picking them up, please do so in front of the building, not on the back, north side or west side near school buses. Traffic is a serious problem in the back of the school and doors are key-pad locked.
