Help keep our parking lot safe
Students are required to complete an online exam in Schoology to demonstrate knowledge of the responsibilities for this privilege. Students who desire to take advantage of the privilege must abide by all State of Minnesota, City of Oak Park Heights, and Stillwater Area High School regulations.
Access and availability of the parking lot is a privilege for students. Please respect all district policies including but not limited to the safety of all of our students. Illegal items, gang symbols or markings deemed to be a symbol of hatred may be a violation of school policy and will result in discipline including forfeiture of the right to park on campus.
Accidents
Students drive and park on campus at their own risk. Any accident that occurs on campus should be reported to the school police liaison officer. District #834 and Stillwater Area High School are not responsible for vandalism, injury, theft or damage to vehicles or items in the school parking lot. Vehicles should be locked and valuables should not be left in cars. Any vehicle parked on campus may be subject to search by a school administrator in conjunction with a law enforcement officer in instances where the school official determines there is reasonable suspicion that a school regulation, city or state law has been violated.

Students whose parking privileges are revoked and who bring their vehicle on campus may have it towed at the owner’s expense. The school reserves the right to fine in $20 increments and may boot or tow any vehicle in violation of any parking regulation. The boot fee is $20 and may require your vehicle to remain overnight should the vehicle violate any parking rules and expectations. A second boot incident will result in an increase in the boot removal fee up to $50.
Pay attention and see main office staff should you be given any notice on your vehicle. The student under whom the vehicle is registered will be held accountable for that vehicle’s use, regardless of who is driving the vehicle.
