Painting Senior Parking Spot

Form 2024-2025 School Year

South Tahoe High School is starting a new tradition: Senior-painted parking spots! The ASB Leadership is leading this fundraiser.

Allowing senior students to paint their parking spots is a great way to improve school pride and friendships. We encourage students to express themselves through positive

artwork, beautify the campus, build school spirit, create a tradition, and support Senior Class activities and events.

ASB Leadership Fundraiser: Purchasing a Senior Parking Space allows the purchasing senior students to personalize their space by painting it. Funds raised will be used for Senior Class activities and events, such as Senior picnic, Graduation Practice,

and other activities.

Painting parking spots is a privilege. Non-painted parking spaces will continue to be available for senior students who do not wish to purchase and decorate a parking spot.

IMPORTANT: To paint a parking spot, students must turn in the attached form and have a valid driver’s license, current proof of insurance, and current registration; then, you will receive your school parking permit. Once those steps have been completed, you may purchase a parking spot.

$25.00 before painting their spot.

Senior parking spots will be available for purchase during lunches only. from 6/1/24-6/20/24. If there are open spots in August, they will be available for purchase from 8/12/24-8/23/24.

Winter Parking and Snow Loads:

As we all experienced in 2023, and 2024, winter parking was a challenge. If you are not at school before 10:00 am, your paid parking spot will be open for other students to use.

Please note: Parking on the STHS campus is extremely limited due to the unprecedented snow.

STHS must maintain safe, reliable access for emergency vehicles and buses.

At this time, students are STRONGLY encouraged to carpool, be dropped off, or ride district buses (Click here for bus route info)

Due to the snow emergency, these temporary parking restrictions are in effect until the snow emergency is resolved.

Until further notice:

Upper Parking Lot will be for SENIORS ONLY who have both a current parking permit AND a paid parking spot
"Reserved" Upper Parking lot spaces that are not occupied by 10:00am (the end of 1st block) will be opened for other SENIORS with a current parking permit - arrive EARLY.
Lower Parking Lot will be open to SENIORS and JUNIORS. Parking permits are required Links to an external site.

(click link to apply). Parking is first-come, first-served. Please note:

Parking permits do not guarantee a parking spot.
Students with Late-In are not guaranteed a parking spot.
Students without current parking permits will be turned away

The entrances to the student parking areas will be staffed, and students will be expected to show their parking permit (hang tag) and student ID (Seniors - for Upper Parking). Please expect traffic delays until students adjust to the new requirements.

We understand that this is a temporary challenge for our Viking Families. We do not have alternative parking locations available - all available on-campus parking is being used. Staff parking lots are also being monitored for parking passes and those lots are filled as well.

Finally, please note anyone parking off campus will be doing so at their own risk. Thank you for reading this to stay informed.

Student, please sign to show that you understand the 2024/2025 Winter Parking rules.
