Student Vehicles on Campus

- Student vehicles must have a permit clearly displayed, visible at all times, when on VCS property.

- VCS will conduct routine patrols of the student parking lots and inspections of the exterior of student vehicles on school property.

- VCS may inspect the interiors of the student vehicles whenever a school authority has reasonable suspicion to believe that illegal or unauthorized materials are contained inside the vehicles. Such patrols and inspections may be conducted without notice, without student consent, and without a search warrant.

- A student who fails to provide access to the interior of the vehicle upon request by an administrator will be subject to school disciplinary action.

- The speed in the parking lot is 5 mph; on Galveston, it is 25 mph.

- Students are not permitted to go to their vehicle during the school day without permission from the administration.

- Students must utilize the crosswalk to and from campus when parking in the south softball lot.

- The school is not responsible for accidents or damage to cars that occur on school property.

- Music must not be heard outside of the vehicle.

- If the student fails to follow school policy and procedures related to use of the vehicle, the vehicle may be towed away and stored, at the owner’s expense. The use of a vehicle/parking at VCS is a privilege, not a right, and requires responsible behavior and may be revoked at any time.

- Driving to or from a school-sponsored activity at any VCS campus is limited to VCS staff, faculty, coaches, and other approved adults, 21 years of age or older. A student is allowed to leave their home to a school-sponsored activity once they have received express permission both from the sponsor of the activity and their parents. The school maintains no liability for students driving to or from a school-sponsored activity outside of regular school hours.

Parking Permits

- The parking permit entitles students the privilege to park on campus in their assigned parking spot only! Do NOT Park in Visitor or Handicapped spots.

- Do not allow another student to park in your assigned spot.

- A student must have a Valid Driver's License to obtain a parking permit.

- Registration of the vehicle to obtain a parking permit is completed online through the school website (valleychristianaz.org/Transportation).

- It is the student’s responsibility to make changes needed to the registration of the vehicle. Not updating vehicle information with the school may result in a loss of the parking permit.

- Permits may only be used in the registered vehicle(s). Permits may not be sold, borrowed, duplicated, or traded.

- Permits are the property of the school and must be surrendered when requested. Damaged or lost permits will require the student to purchase a new parking permit ($5.00).
