PARKING

We recognize that parking is at a premium and we appreciate your thoughtful consideration when parking.  Parking for school parents/visitors is as follows:

• When parking adjacent to the church and parish center, use the unreserved parking only.  Note that there are reserved parking spaces for priests, parish personnel, and school personnel. 
• NEVER PARK PARALLEL DIRECTLY IN FRONT OF THE PARISH CENTER SINCE THIS IS A FIRE LANE AND MUST BE KEPT CLEAR OF VEHICLES AT ALL TIMES. 
• The tandem parking spaces are for TWO CARS at all times.  When using tandem parking, please pull all the way forward and never block both spaces. 
• If you are the second car, please leave a note on your windshield giving your location and how you can be located in the event the other person needs to leave.
• When attending 8:15 Mass, walking your child(ren) to class, or tending to business in the school office, please follow the directions of traffic personnel who will direct you where to park on the basketball courts.  Once you are parked on the basketball courts, you may not move your car until after the 8:00 a.m. school bell has rung.  This rule is for the safety of children walking to class.  Please make sure that this rule is communicated to all people who will be driving your child(ren) to school.
• You may also park on Serrania Avenue.  Make sure to note times when public parking is allowed.  You may also park on the side streets.  Thank you in advance for being considerate and please refrain from blocking our neighbors' driveways.
• No car will be allowed to park on campus after school until 3:15 p.m. This is to ensure the safety of all students and will be strictly enforced.
