Transportation and Parking

By issuance of a permit, the Bellevue School District and/or your high school do not assume liability for any property damage to any private automobile parked on its property. The owner-operator(s) of all private vehicles accepts responsibility for their own property and agrees they are parking at their own risk.

Vehicles must be operated in a safe and legal manner on campus. Because it is necessary to maintain emergency and business access to the campus, cars blocking fire lanes, emergency exits, delivery areas, bus, handicap or motorcycle zone, etc., will be towed and/or driver fined, and parking privileges removed.

Please Note: High School administrators have the right to search your vehicle upon request if it is on high school property. The vehicles are also subject to random sweeps by canine units trained in detecting illegal substances.

Student parking areas are open to all students with a valid parking permit during the hours of 6:30 am – 3:30 pm. Parking without a permit may result in your vehicle being towed.

• All fines must be paid prior to purchasing a parking permit. This includes parking fines accumulated in previous years. Fines may be paid online.
• The student parking fee is $100. For students on Free/Reduced lunch, the fee is $50 (contact Parking Specialist).
• Running Start & those attending WANIC classes at other schools must have a permit to park at Bellevue. Non-Bellevue WANIC students may park for free after a parking application has been completed and a permit has been issued at home school and shown to the parking specialist.
• Students must complete the online application, which acknowledges they/parent or guardian have read the rules and regulations. Public transportation is also encouraged.
• Priority will be given to carpools, then seniors, then juniors. Any remaining spots will then be awarded to licensed sophomores.
• Students may request to be put on the waitlist if they get their license after all permits are sold. Please note that being waitlisted does not guarantee you a permit, and you will not be allowed to park on campus while on the waitlist.

Student parking on the Bellevue HS campus is a privilege and is limited in availability. Students must apply for a parking permit and match application criteria. Filling out an application does not guarantee a parking permit. Inaccuracies in information or documentation can reject applications.. Applications that are granted a Student parking permit will require a one-time payment of $100 for the school year.
