What to do if someone parks in your spot!

It's the morning of a new beautiful school day and when you get to your parking spot someone is in it!! Oh nooo!!

Well, what do you do now? Ah I'll just park in someone else's spot! Right? NO! Don't do that! You'll be ticketed for that!

Step 1: Confirm that it is in fact your spot and note the time.

Step 2: Go park in visitors, make sure it is visitors and not facility.

Step 3: Most important step!! Go into the North office and log that someone else parked in your spot, please include the noted time!

We do confirm that someone is indeed in your spot, using the cameras! If you are running late and decided to park in visitors saying "someone was in your spot" but really wasn't.. you will be ticketed! 

Please follow these instructions!
