• FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS CONCERNING PARKING 2022-23:

    Q1. How do I get a parking permit?

    1. Juniors and Seniors – to secure your space for the 2024-25 school year, complete the 24-25 Perry Parking Student Application. The parking application is an online application. You must have a Google email to apply for a parking permit.  You can use your student GSE account or any Gmail address to apply. With the application, you will upload a copy of your current and valid driver’s license, car registration and proof of insurance. Once we receive your application and paperwork, we will notify you via email that your paperwork is complete and when/where to pick up your parking permit.
    2. B) Sophomores - may get a parking permit if there are spaces available after most Juniors and Seniors have purchased their permits. This usually happens no earlier than September. There will be an email sent to all sophomores via Infinite Campus when this date is determined.
    3. C) Freshmen – will not get a parking permit.
    4. D) If you do not request your parking request prior to school starting, it is possible that the lot will be sold out and you will not get a parking space. You may put your name on the waiting list.

    Q5.  Why was I assigned to the lot across 156th Street?

    1. Students who have zero hour and/or early release are assigned to this lot.  This is to make sure that we avoid having extra traffic during the regular school drop off and pick up times. 

    Q6.  Why was I assigned to the bus barn lot?

    1. Due to the proximity of the bus barn exit to the bus lane exit, we could not have student drivers and busses exit school at the same time. To alleviate this problem, students with 5th or 6th hour release were assigned to that lot.

    Q7.  What if my child has a special circumstance (ex: my child needs to get to work after school, my child is out of boundary, the bus comes too early or gets home too late, etc.)?

    1. Unfortunately, with the number of students requesting a parking space no special requests will be granted and special circumstances will not take priority.
    2.  

    Q8. What are the options if we do not get a parking permit?

    1. A) A waiting list will be started for students who do not get a parking permit once they are sold out. As soon as a parking space becomes available the next student on the list will be notified by the bookstore.  Students will have 2 days to get all paperwork and payment to the bookstore or the space will go to the next person on the list.
    2. B) In boundary student – a bus is provided; parent drop off or carpool.
    3. C) Out of boundary student – parent drop off or carpool.

    Q9.  What do I need to know about the waiting list?

    1. A) Once all spaces have been sold, a waiting list will be started.
    2. B) The waiting list is in the bookstore. A student can go before/after school or at lunch to sign up.
    3. C) The waiting list is on a first come, first served basis. Priority will not be given to any student based on grade or special circumstances.
    4. D) Occasionally, students withdraw or graduate early. As soon as a space opens up, the next person on the list will be given the opportunity to purchase the open space.  The student will have 2 days to get all paperwork and payment in or the spot will open up to the next person on the list.

    Q10.  Why do I see empty spaces in the student lot each day?
