Frequently asked questions
What do I need to get a parking permit?
*A completed vehicle registration form is required for every vehicle parked on campus or in one of the church lots.
*Students must use their school Google account to sign up online for a parking permit.
*Students must have a valid driver’s license or school driving permit. This must be presented when you pick up your parking pass.
What are the regulations for a parking permit?
*The parking permit hanger must be placed on the rearview mirror.
*Students may only park in the lot designated on the permit and in designated areas outlined in the Parking Agreement.
*Students are only allowed ONE permit at any given time. If a new permit hanger is needed, the old one must be returned before a new one can be issued.
*Parking permits are NOT transferable to other students. Students are liable for the parking number that they are assigned.
*If you need to drive a different car than the one you originally registered, you must inform the school by using the Temporary Parking Pass Registration form.
Does a parking permit guarantee me a parking spot?
Any Junior or Senior student who applies for a South Lot permit will be granted one but this does not guarantee you a parking space as more permits may be issued than there are spaces available.
If you purchase a parking permit from a church, you will be guaranteed a parking spot.
Note: If the church lot has an event, students in those lots will receive email notification and must find alternative parking during that event.
I have a parking pass but my lot is full. Can I park in any open spot?
Your parking pass is only good for the lot indicated on the pass. You may NOT park in other areas or restricted areas and may be ticketed.
If your designated lot is full, you must park on a side street around Kennedy. Be aware that many of the closest streets may have a 2-hour parking limit.
Streets in the area that have at least ONE side of the street with no parking restrictions are: Falbrook Drive, Glen Elm Drive, Towne House Drive, and Westchester Drive.
How do I sign up for a parking permit?
Kennedy uses an online Parking Application Google Form for students to enter their intent to reserve a parking permit. The form is turned on each evening a the designated time listed on the chart above. The form can only be accessed through the student’s school account.
Students who need to purchase a church lot will then be served on a first come, first served basis.
Once school begins, the form will be unlocked and students can continue to use the form to sign up for a parking permit.
Please give us 24 hours to process your request.
What if I need to drive a different car to school?
Your parking tag can be moved to a different car but you must fill out the Temporary Parking Registration form. Click on the link below.
Temporary Parking Pass Registration
I’m a senior. Am I guaranteed a North Lot parking permit?
There are a limited number of North Lot parking permits available. These are only distributed to seniors who meet certain criteria-usually those students who have off-campus classes BEFORE coming to Kennedy such as building trade or Kirkwood classes or students with first or second hour release. Other reasons may be considered if space is available.
Student must not have any outstanding fines, must demonstrate good school attendance, and good academic achievement.
Students will be notified if their application is approved and when they can pick up their permit.
North Lot Permits WILL NOT be available on the pick up dates listed above.
I do not have my driver’s permit yet (but soon), can I apply now to insure I get a parking spot?
You cannot apply for, or pay for, a parking permit until you have your driver’s permit or license.
Will I be ticketed if I use my parking pass for a different car?
Sometimes you need to drive a different car from the car you signed up with. If this happens, you need to register this information so you will not be ticketed. This is NOT a “blanket” pass. You will need to do this each time you change cars.
If you get a different car and need to make a permanent change, you must go to the Bookkeeper’s office to register this change. If you have any questions, please contact the Kennedy Bookkeeper at 558-1840.
What if I lose my parking tag?
The cost for a replacement parking tag is $15. Please see the Bookkeeper to request a replacement.
Troubleshooting
*I will be out of town during my pick up days—– If you have registered for a South Lot pass, you can pick it up at any time after the initial pick up dates. If you have registered for a North Lot pass, you must wait for an email from the school which will inform you if you have qualified for the pass and when you can pick it up. If you do not qualify, you will be notified that you can pick up a South Lot pass. If you have registered for a church lot, we cannot hold spaces for you. Please come in as soon as you can. Note-Lovely Lane will always sell out first due to limited spaces, please choose Oakland Road or Good Shepherd.
*The form is not giving me access—– You MUST use the student’s school Google Account to access the form.
*I’m a new student and I do not have an account yet. How do I apply for a parking permit? —— If you have not yet been set up for an account, please stop by during the appropriate parking pick up dates and we will help you fill out the form.
*My student did not receive the email with the information—— First, have your student check all email folders, including spam. If you still cannot find the form, please let us know-they might not be set up to receive school communications in Infinite Campus.
*How can I get the affidavit signed so my student can get their Student Driving Permit? —— During the August sign up, students may come to the Main Office and we will assist you in getting the forms signed. During the school year, students should see Officer Tran to get the form completed.
*What if spaces run out? ——– While we cannot promise you will get your first choice, we have not run out of parking passes.
*Do I still have to pay full price if my student purchases a church lot pass mid year? —— The churches are the ones who receive the money for parking passes, not Kennedy, and they determine the fee structure for the passes. Past practices have been for the churches to reduce the rate in half at the second semester. As long as students show respect for their parking areas, we assume this arrangement will continue.
