Parking-- Look Twice Before You Leave You Car!

Parking around the school is extremely complicated and even more crowded. Read the parking signs very, VERY carefully.

On the school side of 47, Chowen and Abbott, there is no parking DURING regular school hours. After hours and on weekends you can park on the school side of those streets. On Beards there is NEVER open parking on the side across from the school. During non-regular school hours you can park on the school side of Beards south of 46.

Just assume that any street near -meaning a two block radius - has some type of parking restriction. Most of the time the restriction is BY PERMIT ONLY. And chances are you do not have a permit. Be very careful of driveways. Do not park near a driveway in such a way that a car cannot turn out or in that driveway. Check parking regulations for exact number of feet.

If you park illegally you almost always will get a ticket. Chances are very high that in addition your car will be towed. Two parents have towed cars already. Then you have the cost of the ticket, the towing bill and impound fee. It is expensive.

The restrictions and permits and various signs around the school are confusing. In the dark you may have to look very carefully.

Please, look twice before you leave your parked car.
