PARKING
Parking is a SENIOR PRIVILEGE. Since there are more seniors than spaces, parking spaces will be available on a
first come first serve basis. Parking is by permit only. New Parking Permits may be purchased during the first week of school.
Licensed drivers are eligible. Parking is restricted to student spaces (WHITE LINES) in the Fifth Avenue lot only and
designated areas.
In order to receive your parking permit, you must submit a copy of a current drivers license and current registration
with the application for parking privileges. Your parent/guardian must complete the parking permission form. The cost of the
parking decal is $5.00 paid semi-annually. If the permit sticker is not displayed, the student's right to park will be taken away.
The school and its officials reserve the right to enforce the traffic rules on the grounds and to prohibit the use of automobiles, if
necessary.
There is NO PARKING in yellow spaces, by yellow painted curbs and white painted curbs (VISITORS). Seniors who
violate parking rules and regulations are subject to disciplinary action.
Underclassmen may park on Pyle Street, John Street or on local streets ONLY.
Vehicles parked on school property are subject to administrative searches if there is reasonable cause to believe that
within the vehicle there may be weapons, contraband or illegal substances.
Any car illegally parked or parked on school grounds without a River Dell Parking Permit will be subject to a minimum
$50.00 ticket.
MOPED PARKING – Any student with a moped must register the moped and obtain a moped license from the main office.
The license must be displayed on the vehicle and will be good for the year (as long as there are no infractions). All mopeds
must be parked in the designated parking area. The cost of the license will be $4.00 for the year. If the license is destroyed or
lost, a new one must be purchased.

Students may select a one year elective course or two half year (one each semester) elective courses per year on a pass/fail
option with teacher approval. Applications for pass/fail are due by October 1, 2012 for the 1 st semester and March 4,
