In an effort to reduce the number of student vehicles needing to park at or near school, the following incentive program, with resulting parameters, is in place:
1. The student driver must submit to the Assistant Dean a completed AMHS Student Driver Carpool Contract (pdf) to obtain the necessary decal.
2. The student driver must be compliant with DMV first-year driving restrictions with regard to transporting peers.
3. The student driver must transport at least one student passenger who is not an AMHS sibling (or in addition to the sibling). The driver is not permitted to pick up students who drive to school and park elsewhere, i.e. Mise Park or VTA lot, as their “qualifying passenger.”
4. When the student driver arrives by 7:50am, (s)he will be permitted to park between the white lines in the “C” spaces reserved in the west parking lot nearest the main gate entrance. If (s)he arrives after 7:50, available “C” spaces will be given away and (s)he will likely have to find parking elsewhere.
5. The student driver will display a green “C” decal next to the AMHS parking permit on the front windshield that identifies them as a qualified participant. If (s)he periodically drives a second family vehicle to school, this static cling decal can be transferred to that vehicle (description information for all family vehicles should be included on the carpooling contract), or (s)he must sign it in at the Attendance Office in the Temporary Sign-In Log.
6. If the student drives to school alone, (s)he will not be permitted to park in a “C” space that day.
7. If one of their passengers sometimes drives them to school, (s)he must submit their own contract and obtain their own decal (decals are not transferable between drivers).
