Judge Memorial Catholic High School Parking Guidelines 2010-2011

Judge Memorial Catholic High School is an urban campus located in a residential neighborhood. With all the positives this affords us, it also provides us challenges when it comes to providing parking opportunities for students. In an effort to balance the parking needs of both our neighbors and our students, Judge works with the Douglas Neighborhood Association and the City of Salt Lake. We are granted permission to issue STUDENT VISITOR permits that allow a student to park in a specific location within the neighborhood. Though improbable it is still possible that all students could lose the privilege to park in the neighborhood due to the actions of a single individual and, as a result, parking violations are dealt with accordingly. Drivers are to follow city parking and traffic ordinances at all times, and are subject to consequences from both the school and/or the city for failure to do so.

Rules and Regulations include, but are not limited to:

Courteous Behaviors

• Drive Safely and with due diligence. The areas around our campus are high volume areas of both traffic and pedestrians, including many small children.
• If you must move a resident’s trash/recycling, do so in a respectful manner that still allows for pick-up and does not block access to their driveway.
• Music, tone and conversations should be appropriate in both volume and content.
• Be aware of and avoid landscaping/lawns/plantings while walking around your vehicle and to school.
• Park toward the ends of curbs to allow as much room as possible for other vehicles.
• Individuals must park five feet away, on either side, of fire hydrants and driveways.

Neighborhood Parking Basics

• Be respectful to the neighborhood, neighbors, city, school, and each other.
• Please remember that students are visitors and guests of the neighborhood.
• All Students who drive to school must register their vehicle with the deans’ office.
• After students register their vehicle, they will receive a Judge Registration Sticker.
• This sticker needs to be placed in the bottom left corner of the rear window.
• This applies to all students who park in “free parking,” on a Capital Church permit, or on a STUDENT VISITOR permit.
• There are only three ways students are allowed to park in the neighborhood: At an assigned location in the neighborhood (STUDENT VISITOR permit required); in the Capital Church parking lot (Capital Church permit required); “Free Parking” areas; theses are areas in the neighborhood where permits are not required.

Application Information

• All parking applications for the 2010-2011 school year are due to the main office by August 2, 2010.
• Students may be part of only one carpool. Any student on more than one application will be taken off all carpool applications.
• A new application must be submitted each year.
• All changes to your application (new car, license plate, etc.) must be reported to the deans’ office as they occur.
• Applications will not be processed before a student turns 16.

Application Information

The following are not eligible to obtain a STUDENT VISITOR or CAPITAL CHURCH permit:

• Anyone who is part of another permit/carpool.
• Siblings of a permit holder.
• Live within a mile of school.
• Driven by parents.
• Anyone who did not return his or her pass from the previous year.

Ranking

All applications received prior to the deadline will be ranked on the following criteria:

• Top priority is given to students who carpool, the larger the carpool the higher the rank.
• A carpool member is defined as a student who rides with the carpool 80% of the school year.
• A false or fake carpool will result in the revoking of pass and forfeiture of the parking fee.
• All ties will be broken by the order in which applications were received.
• After the deadline, applications will be ranked on a first-come, first-served basis.

STUDENT VISITOR Permit

• On every permit will be a location. That location is the ONLY place a student may park using their pass.
• Unable to park in your assigned location? Take the following steps:
• Park in “Free Parking.” DO NOT park in a location not assigned to you; you may be ticketed.
• Notify the deans’ office. If a trend develops, we will work to find another location.
• If you are parked on the pass in a location other than the one assigned, you will be ticketed.
• STUDENT VISITOR permits need to be displayed on the dashboard in the front left corner.
• The Rank/Location Sticker must be clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle.
• Be sure that it is right side up (the Orange side should be visible from outside the vehicle) or the City may ticket you. All area permits are the same on the back, and parking officials may assume that you have a permit from another area.
• Report lost or stolen permits to the deans’ office immediately.
• If you forget your permit you will need to park in “Free Parking.”
• Only registered members of the carpool may use your permit.
• If you have any confusion as to where you are supposed to park contact the deans’ office.

Please Note:

Altering a Permit, using a false permit, copying a permit, or using a permit temporarily released to a visitor is not allowed and will result in the permit being revoked. Additionally, your name, license plate, and false permit may be turned into City authorities.

After three parking violations of any kind by a student/carpool, a permit will be revoked.

The parking lot to the west and south of the Judge buildings are reserved for teachers and staff until 3:15 p.m., and should not be used by parents or students before or during school hours. Parking is permitted behind the school in the faculty lots after 3:15 p.m. Students may not park in the reserved lots before or during school hours (including before school activities, early check-out for sports or activities, etc.). Parking is prohibited until AFTER 4 p.m. on the playground area of Our Lady of Lourdes Catholic School.

Students are NOT allowed to park on a RESIDENT permit. RESIDENT permits are only for qualified area residents. Any student who lives within the Area 6 Parking Zone should contact the deans’ office.

Students are NOT allowed to park on a GUEST permit. GUEST permits may not be used for commuter vehicle parking.

Any student found parking with a RESIDENT or GUEST permit will have consequences from the school on the first offense. After that any future violations will be referred to the City.
