Please read the following rules and regulations.  Student and parent signatures are required to be issued a parking decal.  Signing below indicates understanding and agreeing to these regulations.  Parking on campus is a privilege. Any violation of the following rules/regulations will result in disciplinary action.

1. Parking decals must be attached to the rearview mirror and visible through the front windshield.  Decals must be displayed while on campus.  A parking fine of $25.00 will be assessed if the decal is not properly displayed or is missing from the vehicle.  The cost to replace a damaged or lost decal is $20.00.
2. Vehicles may be parked in the student parking lot only.  The senior painted spots, faculty, handicapped, visitor, and bus ramp areas are off limits.  Parking in unauthorized areas will result in a loss of parking privileges, a parking citation of $25.00 and/or towing of the student’s vehicle.  Unauthorized parking in the Senior painted parking spots will result in a citation.

I have read and understand the parking rules and regulations of Sumner High School.  I understand that if I violate ANY of the parking policies, I risk having my parking privileges suspended or permanently revoked.   I understand that if my vehicle is ticketed, I am required to pay a $25 fine.  If the fine is not paid in ten days, it will be placed on the debt list.  I further understand that violation of parking rules and regulations may result in the towing of my vehicle and that the towing fees are at my expense.  Lastly, I understand that my vehicle is subject to search any time that I am parking on the Sumner High School campus.
