Transfer of Permits Permits may not be transferred from student to student. If you are issued a permit, you will be responsible for any fines levied against the permit. Tickets on registered vehicles will be levied against your student account. Where to Park General student parking is located in select East lots of TJHS. A parking permit allows you to park on the property, but it does not guarantee you a parking stall. Parking is on a first-come, first-serve basis each day. Lots 3, 4, 5 and 6 are for general student parking and will be locked during the school day. If you need to leave early or arrive late, please ask for a temporary permit from the attendance office. This temporary permit will allow you to park in the unlocked lots 1 or 2. A guardian must excuse late arrivals at time of check-in to receive the permit. If you need to be let out of the locked gates, we will make every effort to open it as quickly as staffing allows. Lots 1 & 2 parking are for visitor parking and by special permit only. If your class schedule requires you to leave early or arrive late, you can request this permit. Please bring a class schedule for validation. The special permit will allow you to park in lots 1-6. This permit can be revoked if your schedule changes. Parking Tickets School tickets that are issued have a two (2) day appeal process with the issuing employee.
