Parking Permit Form

North Campus Building

Click the link below to download the Secondary Parking Permit form.

Parking Permit Form

All student vehicles parked on campus must be registered through the school and have a parking permit. To register your vehicle, please complete the Student Parking Request Form. You will need to upload images of the student’s driver's license, vehicle registration, and insurance. After completion of the form, you will receive an email when your permit is available for pickup.   

Our goal is to provide space for Wildcats to park on school property and not in the adjoining neighborhood, thereby promoting safety and a positive relationship with our neighbors.  

Students who park in the adjoining neighborhood may be subject to tickets and/or towing at the owner’s expense. 

Students parking in the Academy East (Student) parking lot must have a parking permit on their vehicle at all times. Note: The west/front paved lot is reserved for staff and visitors. At 3:45 p.m. each day, the parking lot is open for event parking.

IMPORTANT CHANGE:  For the 2025–2026 school year, student parking will be available on a first-come, first-served basis. Individual parking spaces will not be assigned.

Students who do not have a parking permit may park in the dirt lot on the west side of the building, but must do so consistently and in compliance with our safety expectations.  All students must obtain a parking permit to park anywhere on campus. Parking in the dirt lot without a permit for long periods of time is not allowed.  All high school students must enter through the Bistro entrance unless they have attained permission from High School admin to enter through the main entrance.

Parking on the Academy campus is a privilege. Students are responsible for locking their vehicles to secure their belongings. 

The Academy assumes no liability for damage to or theft from vehicles parked on school grounds.  

Students must observe all speed limits and use proper driver etiquette. For parking violations (parked in the student lot without a parking permit), students will receive a warning for the first violation. Thereafter, violations will result in tickets of $5 for the second violation, $10 for the third, and all subsequent violations. If persistent violations occur, parking privileges may be revoked for the remainder of the year. In addition, students could face disciplinary consequences. Violations for no permit will begin on Tuesday, August 26th, 2025. 

Replacement tags are $5. Lost or stolen tags must be reported to the Bistro Supervisor immediately.
