Student Services :: Parking

Faculty and staff, seniors and juniors may park their vehicles on the Reno High School campus in designated parking lot areas. All vehicles driven by faculty, staff, and student drivers must be registered with the school police office. Each driver will be issued an identification sticker that should be placed in the lower right front windshield and must be parked in the area designated by the identification sticker. Registration of vehicles should take place prior to September 14. After September 14, vehicles parked on campus without the appropriate identification sticker may be towed at the owner's expense.

The following regulations apply for all vehicles that are parked on Reno High School property:

  1. All vehicles shall be parked within painted boundaries.
  2. "No parking" areas include those areas with painted red “curbing”, painted white “curbing”, painted yellow “curbing”, sidewalk approaches, and any fire/garbage lanes.
  3. No parking is permitted within fifteen (15) feet of any fire hydrant or fire alarm box.
  4. The speed limit is 10 miles per hour on campus and in all campus lots. Failure to adhere to this speed limit may result in the consequences listed later in this section as well as the issuance of a traffic citation from the School Police officers.
  5. Sitting in cars before or during school and at lunchtime is not permitted. (Students may be confused with trespassers or with individuals engaged in illegal activities, if they are not in class during the school day.)

Students who violate these regulations will be subject to these consequences:

First Violation

A warning will be issued and a notice-of-violation card will be sent home.
