Students are permitted to park on school premises as a matter of privilege, not as a right.  Only licensed freshmen students who have a valid and documented school permit have parking privileges at Timberline School.

Students driving cars or other licensed vehicles are permitted to park their vehicles in the student parking area only, which is designated by signage, and can be viewed on a school-provided parking map.  All vehicles should be parked within stall markers (lines); vehicles must have a line on both sides of the car. Parking is not permitted on curbs, bus lanes, fire lanes, driving or drop-off lanes, visitor parking, handicapped parking, staff areas, walkways, sidewalks, medians, on grass, on snow piles (in winter) or in driveway areas. Parking in these areas may result in the loss of on-campus parking privileges. The District reserves the right to tow a parked vehicle when it is improperly or illegally parked and poses a traffic hazard or an obstruction to the normal movement of traffic or is in violation of said regulations, without prior notification, at the subject’s expense.  Responsibility for finding an authorized parking space rests with the operator. Lack of space in the student parking area is not considered a valid excuse for violation of these regulations.

Timberline School has the authority to deny use of the Timberline School parking facilities to parking violators.  Other limitations may be established by the school.
