Parking Permit Registration

Parents of students in grades 10-12 who will drive to school are required to purchase a permit and review the safety rules below with their child. Questions related to student driving can be directed to jtimco@lawrenceschool.org.

Upon registration, students and their parents agree to abide by all parking rules and regulations of Upper Campus parking:

All drivers must possess a valid driver’s license; stop for pedestrians; follow all driving directives of the State of Ohio and observe stop signs and speed limits, both on-campus and off. Students are not to drive or ride in overloaded cars, use the circular drive in front of the building, or pass on the property road. Students are only permitted to park in the designated student parking areas and in their assigned space. If someone has parked in your assigned spot, please report the make of the car and license number to the Main Office. Student parking is not permitted in the Disabled or Visitor spaces or in any of the spaces directly in front of the building. Lawrence School is not responsible for damage or theft of a student’s car, its contents while the vehicle is on school property, or accidents occurring in the parking lot or otherwise on school property. When an accident occurs on the property, Lawrence School will notify the Sagamore Hills Police Department to file a police report.

1. Violations of the Student Driving Policy will result in the following:

• A fine of $50.00 will be set for each policy violation occurring on campus.
• A fine of $100.00 will be set for each policy violation occurring in the local community and reported to the school.

Policy violations will result in the following penalties:

• At the first violation or fine, a student will receive a warning regarding the behavior of concern.
• At the second violation or fine, a student will lose driving privileges for five days.
• At the third violation or fine, a student will lose driving privileges for 10 days.
• Subsequent violations or fines will result in students losing driving privileges for the balance of the year.

2. Students may have their driving privileges revoked by the administration at any time for serious or repeated violations. Such revocation may occur with or without notice.

3. Students are to leave home early enough to arrive at school on time. Students should take into consideration traffic congestion, weather conditions, roadwork, and detours. Students who are habitually tardy will be subject to appropriate disciplinary consequences.

4. Upon arrival each morning, students are to exit their cars, lock them, and come directly into the building. Loitering in the parking lot is prohibited.

5. Once students have arrived at school, they are not permitted to leave the property without permission of the administration.

6. No student is permitted to go out to his/her car during the school day without permission of the administration.

7. Any car left on campus without permission may be towed.

8. Students must not transport or store illegal substances in their vehicles while on school grounds. This includes alcohol, tobacco, other drugs and related paraphernalia. Cars parked on Lawrence School property are subject to search at any time by Lawrence School personnel, local law enforcement or other individuals sanctioned by the school.

9. Upon approval, the Main Office will issue each student a parking space, along with a Lawrence School Parking Tag. The numbered hang tag must be placed in the student's car, on the rear-view mirror, during the entire school year.
