DROP-OFF AND PICK-UP OF STUDENTS
Morning drop-off and after-school pick-up of students continues to be a safety concern. Parents and students need to be aware that all school policies and procedures should be followed for the safety of all students.
Parents are encouraged to drop off students along the white curbs on Cerritos Ave. and Los Alamitos Blvd., and areas where drop-off is legal. Parents may not enter the west lot for student drop-off or pick-up.
VISITOR PARKING & REGISTRATION
Any visitor to the Los Alamitos High School campus may park in any spot designated "Visitor" in the Front Lot. Anyone parking in a "Staff" parking spot without a Staff Parking Permit may be ticketed by the Los Alamitos Police Department.
All visitors, except students and Los Alamitos Unified School District employees, must register in the Main Office before coming on campus during school hours, 7:20 a.m. - 3:50 p.m. The only exception to required registration is for individuals attending an event open to the public.
PARKING REGULATIONS AND REQUIREMENTS FOR STUDENTS
The LAHS parking permit is a privilege and is subject to a set of regulations and requirements. All licensed juniors and seniors who provide the proper paperwork are eligible to purchase a one-year parking permit in the Activities Office during registration or during the school year at a cost of $50. Parking permits will be available according to lot capacity. Students who park in staff parking, drive in a dangerous manner, loiter or litter in parking lots, falsify information, give a parking permit to someone else, or otherwise violate parking regulations are subject to ticketing and/or towing from the Los Alamitos Police Department and may have their parking permit revoked.
-
Parking permits will be sold according to lot capacity to juniors or seniors who qualify by submitting the required paperwork. (No parking permits will be sold to sophomores or freshmen.)
-
The parking permit is valid for one school year.
-
The parking permit cost is $50. Cash or check only. Checks are to be made payable to LAHS.
-
The replacement cost of a lost or stolen pass is $50.
-
The purchase of a parking permit does not guarantee a parking space.
-
Students may park in the east or west student lot in designated student spaces from 6:30 a.m. – 2:30 p.m. The west student lot will be locked from 8:30 a.m. – 1:00 p.m. Students who park in the west lot will not be allowed to drive off campus for lunch.
-
The parking permit must be displayed so that it is clearly visible from the outside of the vehicle. Failure to clearly display the permit may result in ticketing or towing.
-
Failure to follow the parking regulations may result in forfeiture of the parking permit.
The following items are required for the purchase of a parking permit:
• $50 fee
• Proof of insurance
• Copy of vehicle registration
• Valid driver's license
• Completed parking permit contract with parent and student signature
All paperwork and fees should be submitted to the Los Alamitos High School Activities Office.
Students who have not purchased a permit, have forgotten their permit, or arrive at school at a time when the student lots are full, must find parking off-campus in legal and designated areas. We ask students to treat our local neighborhoods and business areas with courtesy and respect.
As the school year progresses, the student parking lots become more impacted. The earlier a student arrives to school, the more likely it is that s/he will find a parking spot.
Students who live within one mile of the school are encouraged to walk. Students are also encouraged to carpool when legal (according to California State laws applying to minors and driving). We also encourage using public transportation and/or district bus services. Information is available in the Activities Office. Reduced-fee OCTA passes are also available.
