RHAM HIGH SCHOOL

Parking Application

 STUDENT DRIVING/PARKING RULES

All students who wish to drive to school must pay the RHAM High School Parking Fee and register their vehicles by completing the application and uploading required document in Parent Portal under the forms section. The required documents are a copy of their valid Connecticut driver’s license, current insurance card and receipt from SchoolPay. 

One numbered Parking Tag will be issued to each student, which will designate an assigned parking area and allows a student to park in one space. Students may not drive a vehicle that has any type of trailer or plow attached to it. Doing so will result in the student having to bring that vehicle home and possible loss of parking privilege. – Senior-Upper Lot (Yellow), Junior -Lower Lot (Blue). Students are not allowed to park at Vets until the school has notified them.

Senior Parking is in the upper lot in any of the unnumbered spaces. Sophomores and Juniors with permits may only park in the lower lot (by the tennis courts and football field). Due to limited parking spaces, cars must be parked in their assigned area or at Veterans Park. Individual spaces are not assigned.  Parking privileges are not transferable to other automobiles or students.  Only students in possession of a 2024-2025 parking tag are allowed to park at these school parking locations. 

Students are not allowed to park at Vets until the school has notified them.

STUDENTS MAY NOT PARK ON ANY GRASS OR STAFF PARKING AREAS.  Any student who parks in an unapproved area will be subject to disciplinary action, including but not limited to fines, detention, in-school suspension and loss of driving privileges on school grounds. 

STUDENTS WHO PARK IN A MARKED FIRE LANE OR HANDICAP SPACE WILL BE FINED.

Students are to familiarize themselves with the rules regarding student driving/parking.  In particular, students are prohibited from driving off campus or in the parking lot during school hours without permission.  Violation of this rule may result in loss of driving/parking privileges on school grounds.
