Driving to school comes with additional responsibilities. We share a campus with special needs, preschool, elementary, middle school students and families. Driving to school is a privilege and should be taken seriously and with expectations.
1. In order to park all students must:
A. Fill out the parking pass form and process that through the main office
B. Pay the parking permit fee required $70.00 for the school year or $35.00 for quarters 3 and 4. OSTC students will be $35.00 for the year. Hang the parking permit from the rearview mirror. If found without a permit the student will be given up to 5 days to obtain one or the vehicle may be towed.
2. Documented and Logged Violations of parking rules and guidelines that are not permitted
A. Parking in a marked “designated” spot for handicapped, staff, best spot in the lot, or pool entrance parking spots
B. Parking in an unmarked spot at the end of a given row of marked parking spots

Additional rules and considerations for student parking
- Loss/Theft: LOCS is not responsible for damages or loss/theft of the automobile or its contents.
- Refunds: There are NO refunds, including for revoked privileges.
- Transfers: Students who transfer out of LOHS must return their parking pass to SHELD/ Main Office.
- Search and Seizure: All vehicles and student property are subject to LOCS search and seizure policy.
- Replacement fee: Lost or stolen passes must be reported immediately. After 5 days there is a $25 replacement fee for a new pass.
- Siblings: Siblings attending LOHS are required to purchase one pass per vehicle driven to school. Two vehicles require 2 passes.
- Other: Administration reserves the right to revoke parking privileges for any student for any reason, including excessive discipline issues, poor attendance, or academic performance.
LOHS recognizes that as students begin to drive that miss-steps in their parking may occur. The administrative/security team will work in a supportive role to make corrections with a student whenever possible.
