*After September 22, 2023, students who park on campus without a permit will receive a disciplinary referral and the parking permit fee will be added to the student account.  All permits may be obtained in the School Store during normal operating hours. 

Students who park illegally in designated handicapped parking spots or in a fire lane may be ticketed by the Guilderland Police Department in addition to possible disciplinary action.

Tickets and impoundment are only approved and requested by the building principal or his/her designee (when principal is out of the building). Students are responsible for all fees involved with ticketing and impoundment.

The school is not responsible or liable for any damage to, or loss of vehicle or personal property. Students will keep their vehicles locked at all times while parked on campus.

Student Parking Guidelines

1. To receive a parking permit for the year, each student must submit the following materials to be retained by the Office until destroyed at the conclusion of the year:
   • A Student Parking Application and Agreement form signed by both parent/guardian and the student
   • A copy of the student’s current valid NYS driver’s license
   • A copy of the valid vehicle registration
   • A copy of the current valid car insurance identification card (please check the dates on the card!)
   • Payment in the amount of $50.00 made payable to Guilderland High School if you are paying in the school store.  Online payments are collected at time of entry.

     *Applications will not be accepted if:  they are not fully complete, are not accompanied by all four valid documents, and/or full payment is not submitted. Please check the expiration date on your insurance card before you apply.

2. All student vehicles on campus must possess a current parking permit, and clearly display it. The permit must be displayed so that it is visible at all times. The sticker should be affixed to the driver’s side passenger window (back seat window).  All parking permits will be numbered in order to identify student vehicles. Students who violate parking rules and park without a permit, are subject to the same parking guidelines and policies.
3. Students will not be allowed to go to their cars during the school day without administrative approval. If approval is given, the student must present his/her pass to the attendant on duty at the front desk entrance before exiting the building and must re-enter through that same entrance. Any student who fails to follow this procedure will result in disciplinary consequences.  Student parking is only allowed in the front two student lots on East side of building.
4. Temporary permits may be granted on an individual basis for severe family hardship and will be offered at the discretion of the administrator in charge of parking. Parents and students must notify the administrator in charge of parking prior to bringing the vehicle to school. A temporary permit will be issued once it is verified and approved by the administration.
5. School officials have the right to search a student’s vehicle while it is on campus, if they have reason to believe that it may contain anything that may endanger students and/or school personnel and/or are in violation of school policy.
6. The following rules apply for maintaining your parking privileges:
   • No tardiness to classes or study hall
   • No driving recklessly or exceeding the speed limit on campus
   • No driving off campus without permission
   • No dropping students in areas not designated for this purpose
   • No parking in faculty lots before 3:30 p.m. while school is in session
   • No passing a school bus while its flashers are engaged
   • No parking in fire lanes or designated handicapped spots
7. Violators will be required to meet with their assistant principal.  Failure to serve your assigned detention or other disciplinary consequences for any of the above offenses will result in an immediate 30-day suspension of parking privileges.
