3. Cars must be parked in designated parking spaces that are clearly marked. Students are to park in YELLOW spaces in LOTS A, B, C, E or F. “No Parking,” faculty, (RED SPACES) handicapped, and visitor areas must be avoided at all times. No parking is permitted in the District Office parking area or the loading dock area.

4. Parking is not allowed in undesignated areas such as: Loading/Unloading Zones, grassy areas, on frontage roads, walkways, curbs – CCSD barriers (concrete blocks, construction cones, or temporary signage) are not to be moved or removed for any reason.
5. Cars parked on the Prairie campus illegally or without a permit will receive a warning and then be subject to a fine of $25 for each offense.
6. Repeat offenders are subject to parking privileges being revoked and/or have their vehicle towed at the owner’s expense.

10. Prairie High School is not responsible for vandalism or theft of any vehicle or personal property.

Prairie High School has limited parking. No more than two permits per family will be issued.

The parking permit fee is $10.00. Once your application is approved, this fee will be assigned to your student’s account and can be paid through the in-touch online system. Students will need to bring their ** VALID DRIVER’S LICENSE or SCHOOL PERMIT **  to receive their parking permit by Sept 2.

**STUDENTS THAT DO NOT HAVE A VALID DRIVER’S LICENSE OR SCHOOL PERMIT WILL BE PLACED ON A WAITING LIST UNTIL A VALID DRIVER’S LICENSE OR SCHOOL PERMIT IS OBTAINED.**
