The safety of all students is one of Mountainside’s highest priorities.  As a student driver on our campus, we care about you and want you to be safe.  To help ensure the safety of all, MHS requires that all student drivers abide by the following parking and driving expectations.  Please review these expectations with your parent, sign, and submit during walkthrough on Wednesday, July 31, 2024 or submit to Mrs. Knott’s Office to be eligible to obtain your parking permit.  Please note that these expectations are in addition to the NUSD High School Parking Registration and Rules needed to maintain your parking privileges.

To maintain your parking privileges:

• Be Kind, Be Courteous, Be Safe.
• Be on time to school.  Please leave your home with adequate time to get to school safely and on time.  Enter the student lot through the E. Hovey Ave. entrance. There are no assigned parking spaces.  Don’t forget your student ID and needed school materials in your vehicle, as once you leave the parking lot you may not return to your vehicle until your school day has concluded.  You may not loiter in your car before/after school.  When crossing the bus lane to enter school, please check for any vehicles and only cross at the designate crosswalk.
• Adhere to the bell schedule - Do not leave class early without a pass.  It is never acceptable to leave class early without an official pass. You are expected to remain in class until your teacher dismisses you.
• If you arrive late to school, always sign in through the attendance office.  If late, park in the student lot and walk to the Main Office to sign in.  You must follow this procedure even if it’s a passing period. 
• Keep your parking permit in plain view on the lower left side (driver’s side) of the windshield.
• Immediately report any parking lot/driving incidents to the Main Office.  Also, please let us know of any vehicle changes right away. 

Please let us know if you have any questions, be safe, and have a great school year!
