Completion and submission of an application DOES NOT guarantee a Parking Pass! Please ensure that you upload all three documents (drivers license, current registration and current insurance card) before submitting! You must have a valid driver’s license to apply. You may apply with a limited learners permit, but you must obtain a drivers license by August 12th. Payment is due by August 12th. A payment link will be emailed to you by August 4th. Parking spaces are based on different parking areas within the lot. While making your selection below, please refer to the parking map to pick a spot in your desired area.  First Come, First Serve.  

Weddington High School understands that many students wish to drive to school during their senior and junior years. However, due to the finite number of student parking spaces available, not all applicants will receive a parking permit. Parking passes will be issued first to Seniors, then Juniors as space permits.  We do not have enough parking to accommodate sophomores.

Students who are granted parking privileges must display TWO parking stickers: one on the front bottom side of the driver's windshield and one on the back bottom left corner of your back windshield. Failure to display both stickers in the proper location will result in a $15 fine. Students will be charged a $45 non-refundable fee for the year. Fees go toward parking and building improvement related expenses.  A duplicate permit will cost $10.

Students who have not received a parking pass may choose to be placed on the waiting list. To be placed on the waiting list, please register for the waiting list option. Once 50 students appear on the waiting list it will permanently close. 

Students who currently have a valid Driver's License and meet the qualifications below may apply for parking privileges.

Students who drive and park vehicles on school grounds are subject to all traffic laws and local school rules. 

You will receive an email from FamilyID notifying you once your registration is submitted. If you do NOT receive this email then you haven't completed the application process! Receipt of this email DOES NOT mean it is approved! You will receive another email notifying you once your registration has been completed and approved with payment information. Please allow time for staff to process the registration for approval.

Student Parking- Rules and Regulations

Parking on the Weddington High School Campus is considered a privilege for students. Each student who drives must buy his/her own parking space. Students may NOT share a space. Neither WHS nor UCPS assumes any responsibility for damage to private vehicles brought onto campus. All student drivers must be licensed and have appropriate auto insurance. The administration reserves the right to terminate driving privileges, apply fines and/or tow any vehicle. 

Section I: Parking Expectations

1.    Parking passes may be purchased during the assigned dates and time prior to the beginning of the school year. Parking Application and instructions are located on Family ID. Parking passes will be issued first to Seniors, then Juniors as space permits.  We do not have enough parking to accommodate sophomores.

2.    Students may purchase parking passes for $45. If a student drives more than one vehicle, all must be registered with the school. There will be a $10 charge for replacement stickers.

3.     All students attending each day will park ONLY in the numbered space that corresponds with their parking permit number. Failure to park in the designated space will result in a $15 fine.

5.    There is to be no extended loitering or visiting in the parking lot. Once a student comes on campus, he/she must lock his/her vehicle and enter the building. No one is allowed in the student parking lot during the school day without permission from the administration.

6.    Once on school grounds, you are at school. Students may NOT leave campus for any reason! The only way a student may leave is to check out at the office with their school issued key fob or a parent handwritten note that is turned into the attendance office prior to leaving..

7.    Student vehicles are subject to search if there is reasonable suspicion to believe that drugs, alcohol, stolen property, or other contraband might be present in a vehicle.

8.    Students must follow the 10 mph speed limit while entering, parking and leaving the student parking lot. Failure to adhere will result in a $15 fine and may result in the suspension of driving privileges.

9.    Students must wear seatbelts in accordance with state law.

10.  Students may NOT park in the teacher parking lots, bus parking lot, agricultural areas, gymnasium areas, or on any greenway or sidewalk. Failure to adhere will result in a $25 fine and possible  suspension of driving privileges as well as towing of your vehicle.

Section II: Parking Citations, Discipline & Fines

1.    If a student’s parking privileges are suspended, he/she can drive NO vehicle on school grounds. Failure to adhere may result in booting of the vehicle which costs $25 to be removed.

2.    Students who drive to school and are persistently late can have their parking privileges suspended for a period of time to be determined by the administrator. 

3.    If a student’s vehicle is used to skip class, to leave school grounds without permission or help others violate school rules, then that student  may have their parking privileges revoked for the remainder of the academic year and be subject to Out of School Suspension.

Section III: Additional Parking Notes

When you drive an unregistered vehicle, you must report to the front office upon arrival to inform school staff of your situation as well as park in your assigned spot.  Prior to driving to school for the first time, students must have taken the appropriate steps to obtain a parking pass.  This will help ensure that students do not receive a parking violation.

Repeated violations and/or failure to pay parking fines within 10 days may result in loss of driving privileges on campus and/or towing of personal vehicles at owner’s expense.
