Information About Decals

     • Please remove any previous CCHS Parking Decals from the windshield before applying the current year decal.

     • Affix the decal to the lower right (passenger side) front windshield of the vehicle. The decal may not be taped onto the windshield or affixed in any manner other than with the decal adherent.
     • Parking decals are non-transferable. Each decal is issued to an individual student for a specific vehicle. If a student who has received a parking decal drives any vehicle other than the vehicle to which the decal is registered, he/she must obtain a temporary decal from the security office. The temporary decal must be placed in the lower right-hand corner of the windshield prior to the beginning of the student’s school day.

Loss of Parking Privileges
Parking on campus is a privilege. To maintain the parking privilege and ensure we have adequate parking spaces for those students who have purchased parking permits, our parking policies will be strictly enforced.
     • Any student who obtains a parking decal, whether temporary or permanent, and transfers it to another student will lose his/her parking privileges for the remainder of the school year. The student who received the transferred decal(s) will receive consequences for dishonesty.
     • Students who falsify any information on their applications will have their applications withdrawn and will be referred to their dean.
     • In the event siblings are involved with a parking or moving violation, the sibling operating the vehicle will receive consequences.

Any student who operates his/her vehicle in a reckless or unsafe manner is subject to parking restrictions, in addition to school consequences. Serious moving violations such as speeding or operating a vehicle in any manner that presents imminent danger to the student or others may result in immediate revocation of parking privileges.

Any student who does not have a VALID PARKING DECAL, including Sophomores, and receives three or more parking violations during the school year, will not be allowed to purchase a parking decal the following school year.

Parking Expectations
     • During the school day, students may only park in the specific lot for which they purchased a decal. Students must always park between the two white lines. Students can never park in yellow-lined faculty parking or visitor areas. Students must not park on sidewalks, grass, dirt, “snow mountains” during the winter or next to curbs designated “no parking” zones. Students may not park in bus lanes.
Students are not allowed to drive on sidewalks on campus unless authorized to do so.
     • Student operated vehicles are subject to visual inspection and may be subject to search by school security personnel, school administration and/or police.
     • Students may not remain in any vehicles that are parked on campus during the school day
     • Parking is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
     • Students who drive multiple vehicles throughout the year will be required to adhere to parking regulations and expectations regardless of vehicle driven and parked on campus. Student parking and moving violations are cumulative and based on the student, not on separate vehicles.

Parking Violations
The following parking policy will be enforced for those students who do not have a valid parking decal and park illegally on the CCHS campus or at Village Greens Park.

Vehicle Booting Protocol/Procedures

Parking Lot/Vehicle Searches
If a school official has a reasonable suspicion that a vehicle parked on campus or at Village Greens Park contains contraband, he or she will request permission to conduct a search of the vehicle. Refusal to grant access to the vehicle will result in a permanent revocation of the student's privilege to park any vehicle on campus or at Village Greens Park for the remainder of the student's tenure at Cherry Creek High School. A parent, as the legal owner of the vehicle, may grant permission for a search of the vehicle even if the student driver refuses. Security officials routinely patrol student lots and may conduct a visual inspection of any vehicle at any time.

Motorcycles/Motorized Scooters
All the rules regarding student vehicles above also pertain to motorcycles. Students who have questions about decals for motorcycles without windshields should consult the Security Office for guidance.
