Student Parking Policy and Decal Request Application 2024-2025
Welcome to the NBPS Student Parking Registration Form. Both parking lots associated with the Global Wellness Center and the NE parking lot next to the International Village will be made available to student drivers. All three different parking areas will be treated as one lot. There is no designated senior, junior, or sophomore parking lot. Students will be able to park on a first come, first serve basis. We will be rotating the colors of the decals for the upcoming year and students will receive a yellow decal. There will be approximately 300 parking spots available for student drivers for the 24-25 school year. NBPS may determine there are more student parking spots available than originally planned, however once the online registration form is closed then there are no more spots available.
Students 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. A picture of the student’s current and valid driver’s license must be submitted with this application. Learner’s permits will not be accepted.
Decals
· If the application is received by Friday, August 16, student parking decals will be distributed along with their IDs on the first day of school during their first period of the day.
· For applications received after Friday, August 16, your decal can be picked up at the Dean's office on the first day of school.
· Upon approval of your application, a parking fee of $650 will be charged to your NBPS account.
· All students will receive a teal parking decal and will be permitted to park in any of the three student lots: Both lots at the GWC, and the NE lot next to the International Village.
· Decals must be clearly displayed on the lower corner of the windshield on the driver's side.
· If the student switches vehicles during the year, the decal must be transferred to the new vehicle by contacting the Head of Security, Heckery Garcia at heckery.garcia@nbps.org.
· Students parking without a decal or using a parent (yellow) or employee (gray) 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 lots, with the exception of reserved parking spots such as guest spots and student government spots.
· Students may NOT park in faculty 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’s office.
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. 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.
· Only seniors are allowed off-campus for lunch with proper permissions.
· In the event of an accident, call 954-275-9739 for security assistance.
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 website) 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.
