Timberlane Regional High School Parking
September 30, 2021
Receiving a parking spot at Timberlane Regional High School is a privilege. According to the Timberlane Regional High School student handbook, it states, “To be eligible for this privilege, a student must achieve a minimum GPA of 2.0 and have a minimum of 15 credits or be scheduled to graduate on time. Although a senior privilege, juniors who are involved in school-sponsored internships or who attend an approved CTE education program other than at Salem High School will be issued parking permits directly when appropriate.”
All seniors at the high school are guaranteed a parking spot. Once all seniors have picked up their parking passes, then all of the junior names go into a lottery to begin giving out junior parking spots. When picking up your parking pass, you must show:
- Your driver’s license
- Registration of the vehicle
- Up-to-date proof of insurance
- $25 dollars
When parking in a spot you must park in your own spot with your parking pass hanging from your rear view mirror. If someone is in your spot you must email the assistant principal for your grade or sign a sheet so when they go out to check who is in the incorrect parking spots you do not get a ticket. This year it has been brought to the school’s attention multiple times of people parking in other’s parking spots, which then forces them to park in someone else’s. If you are parked in the incorrect spot you could possibly get a ticket of twenty five dollars and on the fourth time, your car will be towed.
According to the Timberlane Regional High School student handbook, the following procedures and rules apply:
- Students may only park in assigned spots and may not park on any other district property. Students are not to park in areas designated for faculty and visitors.
- Eligible students will be issued parking hangers upon presentation of their valid driver’s license, car registration, and proof that the vehicle is insured.
- There will be an administrative fee charged for each parking permit.
- Only vehicles with valid parking hangers may be parked at the designated student lots. The parking hanger must be hung from the front inside mirror, clearly visible upon inspection. It is recommended that students keep their cars locked at all times.
- There are times when it may be necessary for an eligible senior to drive another automobile to school. When this occurs, the senior must notify the Assistant Principals’ Office and place their parking hanger in that automobile.
- Parking is prohibited on both sides of Greenough Road, from the eastern property line boundary of the Vic Geary Drop-In Center to the Atkinson town line, except for off-street head-in parking along the area known as “the fence.”
- Parking hangers are not transferable to any other student. A parking hanger is only valid when used by the student to whom it is issued and if that student is using another car for the day, he/she must follow the procedure in # 5.
- Vehicles parked improperly or in non-designated parking areas such as fire lanes and handicapped areas may be ticketed by the Plaistow Police Department and/or towed at the owner’s expense. Underclassmen who park illegally will forfeit their future parking privileges. Page 43
- All automobiles parked on school premises or in the school parking lot are subject to search when officials have reason to believe weapons, drugs, or objects prohibited by school policy or state law are contained therein.
- Students with hangers are to park in their assigned parking spaces only. Violation of this rule will result in discipline which may include the loss of a student’s parking privileges.
- When a student’s assigned space has been taken by another vehicle, the student should park in the closest space available and report the matter to the front office by logging it in the Parking Log book. Students should note their own vehicle information and the number of the space they parked in. Failure to follow this procedure may result in discipline.
- Students who leave the building during the school day without administrative permission will lose their parking privileges. This applies to all who leave, whether they are driving or not.
Parking at the high school is a privilege and may be taken away from you if you do not follow the rules and procedures.
