Hempstead High School Parking Permits

Parking Lot Notice

ISSUING OF PERMITS

  • Permits are issued on a first-come, first-served basis to applications received by the deadline based first on grade level and then the date/time the application is received.
  • Students receiving permits will be notified beginning on June 1.
  • Students who apply by the deadline but do not receive a permit will be placed on a waiting list. As parking spots become available, those on the wait list will be issued permits again based first on grade level and then the date/time the application is received.
  • Students who complete an application AFTER the deadline will go on a secondary waiting list to receive a permit after the entire primary waiting list of applications received by the deadline has been exhausted.
  • Should permits be available for the waiting list of applications completed AFTER the deadline, they will be issued based solely on the date/time the application was received.

PICKING UP AND PAYING FOR PERMITS

  • Students receiving permits can pick them up at the Hempstead Assistant Principal’s Office beginning on August 19, 2024, and will need to complete the district’s Online Registration before doing so.
  • Students receiving a permit must be present when permit is picked up and agree to permit guidelines.
  • The permit fee will be posted to the student’s account prior to registration.
  • Students may pay their fees online or at the Hempstead Business Office and bring the receipt to the Assistant Principal’s Office to be issued their permit.

PARKING GUIDELINES

  • All permits issued are for the main Hempstead parking lot.
  • Permits are to be placed inside the front windshield on the driver side near the middle.
  • Students must park BETWEEN WHITE LINES ONLY.
  • A City of Dubuque parking ticket will be issued to any vehicle in the parking lot without a current sticker and/or parking outside the white lines.
  • In the event that a student needs to park a vehicle that is not the registered vehicle, the student must report the license plate number to the AP Office prior to the student’s first class of the day or a ticket will be issued. Parking stickers are only valid for the registered vehicle and may not be moved to another vehicle. Tickets will NOT be voided.

PARKING RULES AND EXPECTATIONS

  • Student vehicles parked on Hempstead High School property are subject to a search by the Principal or Designee.
  • Students must follow the rules and expectations in the student handbook.
  • Not following the parking rules may result in a $15 City of Dubuque parking ticket, as well as temporary or permanent loss of parking privileges without a refund. Violations include but are not limited to:

I understand that if I sell/replace the vehicle registered for a parking permit, I must RETURN MY OLD STICKER (or a portion of it) to the AP Office staff in order to get a new sticker for my new vehicle.
