How do I register for parking?
- Complete payment of $40.00 through your student fees on Rykor.
- Complete the S.A.F.E. Driving course on CANVAS (pre-loaded to all students CANVAS courses).
- Complete the vehicle registration form at the completion of the S.A.F.E. Driving course or at this link: https://forms.office.com/r/ZntQj8NXFp
- Display your parking permit in your vehicle WHERE IT IS VISIBLE AT ALL TIMES.
Once complete, your parking permit will be delivered to you in one of your classes. Your parking permit grants you parking in one of the two student parking lots which will be assigned to you and this is where you will be expected to park when on campus. You must maintain a 2.0 GPA in order to be allowed to drive on campus. Your parking privilege can be revoked at any time for reckless or careless operation of your vehicle on school property as well as any other behavior that endangers the safety of other students or staff.
NEW FOR THE 2024-2025 SCHOOL YEAR:
There will now be 2 student parking lots: There will be a partial day student lot and a full day student lot.
- Full day students will continue to park in the student parking lot located by the football stadium. You must arrive to school on time and leave on time as the gate will now be locked and will only be unlocked before and after school. It is very important that you arrive to school on time each day to have access to the student parking lot.
- Partial day students will need to park in the new partial day student grass lot located on stadium drive. Instead of turning into the original student parking lot students will need to continue down stadium drive towards the baseball field. Past the entrance to the baseball field will be the opening for the new partial day lot. Students who have off campus placeholders for dual enrollment, eSchool, or OJT will need to obtain a partial day parking pass and park in this lot. Once parked students are to walk through the pedestrian gate by the baseball entrance, continue back down stadium drive, around the bus loop, and up the student stairs from the parking lot.
- Students who park their vehicle on school grounds without a parking pass or who park their vehicle in any area other than the area assigned to them can face consequences of discipline referrals, having parking privileges revoked, and/or having their vehicle towed or booted.
Students who are eligible to drive according to Florida law and attendance standards are allowed to park on campus by purchasing a parking tag. All student drivers are expected to follow all parking procedures and policies, including fully registering the car with the school and attending the “Safe Behind the Wheel” driving course. Parking at Pasco High School is considered a privilege and these policies should be completely read and understood before purchasing a tag.
Students are NOT permitted to go to their vehicles during the school day. The gates will be locked after 1st period until the end of 6th period. If this causes an issue with your schedule because you are off campus more than 1st and 6th periods, you will need to park in the baseball field parking lot.
Students must understand that driving an automobile to PHS and parking on school property is a privilege and not a right. PHS retains the right to revoke parking privileges at any time during the school year for violations of the Student Code of Conduct or the Parking Procedures. This includes violations of the attendance policy. Hangtags may be revoked by the school for failure to follow school rules. This may include but is not limited to, leaving campus without permission, being in the parking lot without permission, excessive absences/tardiness to school, and/or extreme discipline issues.
All students must display the parking hangtag on the bottom front left of the windshield at all times. Students who park their car at school without permission or in an unauthorized location are subject to being towed at their own expense.
Be aware that upon reasonable suspicion students, lockers, cars, or other areas may be searched for prohibited or illegally possessed substances or objects.
