Permit Process for E-Bikes
Students are required to apply for a permit if they are planning on riding a bike to school. Permit requirements may vary depending on your student’s school. Please check your school’s website or contact the office regarding the application process. Once your student has completed the application process, they will receive a parking permit placard to be placed on their bike.
Students who do not have a permit will not be allowed to ride to school. A student’s parking permit is a privilege and may be revoked based on not following behavior expectations and behaving unsafely arriving to and leaving campus.
All bikes parked on campus will be required to display a Parking Permit. Like the high school parking permits, students will need to renew these annually. There will be no fee for the initial parking permit.
