Parking/Driving Rules

Parking/Driving Rules

Driving to school and parking on campus are privileges that will be reserved for upperclassmen (seniors and juniors). An email will be sent home in August with parking rules and an online registration form. While it is our goal to accommodate most parking requests, should the number of requests exceed the number of spaces available, the following priority will be used to grant parking: 1. All auction bid winners are assigned a reserved space. 2. All seniors who register during the online registration period and pay, will be allocated a parking tag for the student lot. 3. Only if necessary, the names of all juniors who register during the online registration period, will be entered into a lottery. Names will be randomly selected until all parking spaces are allocated. Juniors will be notified of their parking status the Friday before school starts.

The parking fee for the 2022-23 school year is $550. Payment is due by the first day of school and may be made prior to the start of school via https://nazareth.8to18.com or on the first day of school by cash or check. Parking fees are non-refundable. Once payment is received, a numbered Nazareth parking tag will be issued. It is the student’s responsibility to inform the Dean’s office immediately of any change to vehicle information or damage/loss of the tag. Parking tags are not transferable. Students who park on campus without authorization or who share their parking tag without permission risk losing parking privileges for the following year and may be subject to disciplinary action.

The following rules and regulations must be followed:  All drivers must hold a valid Illinois drivers license (driver’s license number must be indicated on parking permit application).  Speed limit may not exceed 10 mph in the school parking lot.  Radios may not be blaring.  No irresponsible or unsafe driving (i.e. running stop signs, jumping on the hood or trunk of a vehicle while it is moving, throwing anything at or out of a vehicle).  Drivers and passengers MUST BE inside the vehicle with seat belts fastened.  Parking tags MUST ALWAYS BE displayed on the rear view mirror.

 Exercise caution in consideration of others in the area. We are adjacent to Bethlehem Woods Retirement Center and Assisted

Living and must be alert for residents who often walk the premises.  Students who exercise the privilege of driving, riding, or parking a private vehicle on school property may be subjected to a search of that vehicle if school staff have reasonable suspicion to believe that the student’s vehicle contains an illegal or dangerous item or contraband.  Students are to park in student designated spots only and will do so on a first-come, first-serve basis when they arrive on campus.  Students are NEVER allowed to block another vehicle in.  Under no circumstance should a student park in an area reserved for faculty and staff, school vehicles, or the spaces reserved for visitors on the west side of the building near the main entrance.  Students are to follow the designated traffic flow.  NO left turns are permitted onto Ogden Ave. from the main drive on school days between 3:00-3:30pm (1:00-1:30 on early dismissal days). Those needing to turn left must use the traffic light at the west drive.

Parking Off-Campus: Students who wish to drive but do not have a Nazareth parking pass are responsible for finding their own parking and do so at their own risk as local village ordinances change without notice.
