Dear Fremd Students and Families,

With the start of the new semester, please remember that only students who have been issued a 2nd Semester parking pass may park on campus. We have seen an increase in the number of students parking with an expired pass or no pass at all, which has made it harder for students who have a 2nd Semester parking pass to find an open space.

Students who park in the parking lot without the proper pass may face disciplinary consequences including detentions, loss of off campus privileges, social suspension, and/or not being able to participate in future parking lotteries.

There will be extra staff at the entrances of the parking lot to ensure that only students with parking passes enter the lot.

Thank you for your cooperation.

Scott Newmark

Assistant Principal
