Student/Parent Handbook - Braintree Public Schools

Student Driving/Parking Policy
Students who drive a vehicle on school property must view that action as a privilege that
is regulated by the following rules and responsibilities. Failure to comply with these
expectations will result in disciplinary action and a referral to the Braintree Police
Department.
1. Driving:
Students must proceed cautiously while driving anywhere on the high school
grounds. Many cars and pedestrians travel to and from school and any type of
reckless driving is strictly prohibited. Students who drive to endanger the
safety of others will have their driving and parking privileges revoked, their
parents will be notified and they will be referred to the Braintree Police
Department.
2. Permit:
Students driving cars to school are required to have parking permits. These
permits will be issued through their house office. Parking stickers must be
attached to the driver’s side rear window. The security guard will check
stickers daily.
3. Parking:
Students must park their vehicles in the main parking lot in the front of the
school adjacent to the football field. All vehicles must be parked within the lines
of the designated parking spaces.
4. Parking is prohibited in the following areas:
• The staff parking lots adjacent to the tennis courts and at the rear of the
school
• The side road adjacent to the Industrial Technology section of the building
• Any area designated as a No Parking Zone/Fire Zone
5. Any vehicle illegally parked can and will be towed.
6. Students may not go to their cars during the school day without permission
from the House Office.
7. Drivers/owners are responsible if any other students are found in their vehicles
during school hours.
8. Student drivers who are dismissed before the end of the regular school day
must leave school grounds immediately. They cannot wait for other students.
9. Braintree High School is not responsible for personal property in vehicles
parked on school grounds. All precautions must be taken regarding the
protection of your personal property. Please lock your vehicle at all times!
10. The school administration reserves the right to search vehicles parked on
school property when a determination has been made that such a search would
be in the best interest of the safety and/or health of that student driver and
others.
Attention all Drivers:
The access road parallel to the Cable TV Station is closed to all traffic at
Braintree High School from 2:05 – 2:30 PM. Parents should make
arrangements to pick up students in the front parking lot.
Yearbook
Any student expecting to graduate in June and would like their photo in the
BHS Wampatuck Yearbook MUST submit a photo to the yearbook adviser by
the required September deadline. Failure to meet the deadline will result in the
photo being omitted from the senior section. It is the student's responsibility to
assure that the correct photo is submitted. Yearbooks are distributed the end of
May. Spring supplements are available the following October and contain the
spring activities. The supplements are a part of the yearbook and free of
charge.
