Student Parking Policy and Decal Request Application 2019/20
Each student requesting on-campus parking must apply online for one of the 263 available parking spots associated with the Global Wellness Center (GWC) and the International Village. Registration for these spots begin on Monday, June 24, 2019. The first 120 seniors to register will be given parking spots. The remaining 143 spots will be filled by students on a first come, first served basis.
North Broward Preparatory School students, who are licensed to drive, may drive and park on school premises as a matter of privilege, not of right. As such, the following processes and restrictions apply to students driving a vehicle to campus:
Application
- Each vehicle must have an application form completed, accepted, and on file with NBPS.
Decals
- If the application is received in time, the parking decal will be mailed out in early August with the summer mailing.
- For applications received after the mailing is sent, you will receive an email when your decal is ready to be picked up at the High School office before the first day of school.
- Upon approval of your application, a parking fee of $555 will be charged to your NBPS account.
- All students will receive a blue parking decal and are permitted to park in any of the three student lots.
- Decals must be clearly displayed on the lower inside windshield of the driver's side.
- If the student switches vehicles during the year, the decal must be transferred to the new vehicle by contacting the Security Office at security@nbps.org.
- Parking without a decal is strictly prohibited.
Parking Restrictions
- Students may only register for parking if they hold a current, valid driver’s license.
- Students may park anywhere in student designated lot, with the exception of reserved parking spots.
- Students may NOT park in faculty lots or guest parking spots.
- The School reserves the right to place warning notices, boot, or tow (at the owner's expense) any parked car that is parked without an appropriate decal or that is parked in a non-designated parking area or space.
- Any student or vehicle accumulating three warning notices may have parking privileges revoked for the remainder of the school year.
- No refunds will be issued if parking privileges are revoked.
Access to Vehicles: During the school day, vehicles and student parking lots are off limits to students without a pass from the Dean of Students, Principal, or Assistant Principal.
Driving On or Leaving Campus: If a student is reported for driving in an unsafe or inconsiderate manner on campus, or violating any laws related to driving on or while leaving campus, a student's driving privilege may be revoked. In particular, when on campus:
- Observe the campus speed limit of 15 mph.
- Passengers must be safely seated and buckled within the vehicle.
- Do not carry more passengers than your vehicle's stated maximum capacity.
- Remain on paved roads only; do not pull on to the grass to avoid traffic.
- Only leave and enter the campus by the designated entrances.
Early Dismissal For Student Drivers: A student may be signed out by a parent in person, or the student must provide a signed Early Dismissal Form for Student Drivers (found on the NBPS.org Web site) when they arrive at school. Completed forms must contain a specific time and reason for dismissal along with a daytime contact telephone number for verification. The school will not accept parental permission for early dismissal by telephone, email, or fax.
Consent: Any student who exercises driving and parking privileges gives consent to school authorities to conduct a search of the vehicle and its contents without notice or consent, and without a search warrant, irrespective of vehicle ownership. School authorities will conduct vehicle searches whenever there is reasonable suspicion to believe that illegal and/or unauthorized materials or contraband may be contained within.
