Student Parking Application

Issaquah High School student drivers - We have a limited number of parking spaces to accommodate students that drive to school. In order to maximize the number of students able to park on campus, applications and parking spaces are prioritized in the following order:

  1. Carpools (2 or more licensed drivers riding together)
  2. Individual Seniors
  3. Individual Juniors
  4. Individual Sophomores (If spaces are available) - Note: Individual Sophomores rarely receive parking passes

Please note: Communication in past years stated that Running Start students ranked below juniors. Running Start students have their own parking lot and are ranked in class order with seniors given priority.

The process for obtaining a parking pass

  1. There is a different application for full time individual drivers, running start students, and carpools. All applications are due digitally by 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 30.
     
    • Full Time Individual drivers (non-carpool) need to fill out this form by 5:00 p.m. on August 30. Do not complete this form if you are applying for a carpool or if you are a running start student:
    • Running Start students need to fill out this form by 5:00 p.m. on August 30. Do not complete this form if you are applying for a carpool or if you are a full time student:
    • Carpools need to fill out this form by 5:00 p.m. on August 30. Each carpool should only submit a single form with information for all drivers:
  2. On September 3, a list will be posted in the commons identifying students that have been granted a parking pass based on the priority criteria listed above.
     
  3. Students will have until 3:00 p.m. on September 13 to pay the $140 fee to the school bookkeeper and receive their parking pass. Students who do not pay this fee prior to this deadline will forfeit their parking pass.

Parking

Parking on campus is reserved for carpoolers, seniors, and juniors. For increased security and protection, ALL students who drive to school must register their vehicles. Parking rules and regulations are available on the school website.

  • Parking and driving are considered privileges.
  • All parking and driving regulations are strictly enforced.
  • Violations may lead to suspension of privileges, fine/ticket, towing of vehicle, school discipline, and/or police notification.
  • Vehicles are not to be used for storage during the school day.
  • Students who are found in the parking lot, loitering in their vehicles during the school day, or littering are subject to discipline.
  • Security cameras are in use.
  • Speed limit of 10 mph is strictly enforced.

If students desire parking privileges, they agree not to allow contraband in their automobiles. They agree that their vehicles are subject to search by school officials if the officials develop individualized suspicion that student(s) are or have been violating a law or student conduct rule. Students and their families understand the parking lots will be subject to periodic patrols by drug-sniffing dogs at times when the students are not in the vicinity of the dogs. Students agree that if a drug-sniffing dog “hits’ on their vehicle while it is parked on school premises, school officials will have the authority to search the vehicle. If students refuse to allow searches of vehicles by school officials in such circumstances, students will lose their parking privileges and must understand that the Issaquah School District will presume that the dogs have accurately discovered contra-band in determining whether student disciplinary action is warranted.
