St. John Paul II Catholic High School
Student Driver Policies & Procedures
Driving to school and parking at St. John Paul II is a privilege, not a right, that may be revoked
for violation(s) of St. John Paul II driving policies. This form must be completed, signed, and
turned in prior to driving to school and parking in St. John Paul II designated parking areas.
Students and Parent(s)/Guardian(s) are aware of the following guidelines:
1. All student drivers must be of legal age and have a valid Arizona Driver’s License.
2. All vehicles must be in compliance with the State of Arizona vehicle registration
regulations. Vehicles displaying expired registration will be issued a warning and may
not be allowed to park on campus if the violation continues.
3. Student drivers will park in designated parking areas only which are labeled on the
asphalt. Parking permits must be displayed on the upper left hand corner of the front
windshield at ALL times.
4. If a student does not have their parking permit, they must inform the security officer upon
arrival at the school.
5. Student drivers will abide by all safety regulations and adhere to the posted speed limit
around the school, driving no faster than 10 MPH when in the assigned student parking
area.
6. Students may enter the student parking lot through the St. Thomas Aquinas Grade School
entrance, located just south of campus after 7:45am.
7. Students will only park in the assigned parking area at the northeast section of the St.
Thomas Aquinas Church or in the southeast parking lot closest to 137th Ave. These
sections are St. John Paul II’s assigned parking areas. All other parking areas are
off-limits to student drivers. Student drivers are NOT permitted to park under the St.
Thomas Aquinas solar panels.
8. Student drivers will NOT drive their car from the school grounds without permission. St.
John Paul II is a closed campus, and this includes the parking area at St. Thomas Aquinas
Church.
9. Students are NOT allowed to return to their cars during the school day at any time
without the permission from an Administrator.
10. Students may NOT park in staff, visitor or reserved spaces in any designated fire lane.

parked in the assigned parking area as well as lost or stolen items.

or changes in their insurance policy.
13. Students will not loiter near their car or in the student parking area at any time.
14. Any student found moving the traffic cones to allow access through closed driveways, or
driving their vehicle through closed driveways, will be subject to disciplinary actions up
to the loss of parking privilege on campus. This is a ZERO tolerance violation.
15. Student drivers must follow all policies and procedures in the St. John Paul II Student
Handbook.
16. Fines for violating parking/driving procedures and policies are $10 per violation and/or
LOSS OF PARKING PRIVILEGES
17. Vehicle Searches
Students, by virtue of having the privilege of parking a motor vehicle on school property,
are deemed to have given prior consent for a search of any motor vehicle that has been
brought by the student or his/her companions onto school premises. Vehicles may be
searched if, in the opinion of the administration, suspicion of a school violation exists.
Upon request by the Principal or administrative personnel, the student or driver will
immediately relinquish the keys to the motor vehicle subject to the search, and the
student will remain with administrative personnel until released by the appropriate school
official.
