Parking Permit Information

Parking Passes

Student Parking Permit Application (PDF)


Parking passes will be sold to all who wish to make the purchase. All vehicles parked on campus during the school day must display a valid permit. The cost of a permit remains $100.00. Permits will be sold during all lunch shifts by the cafeteria.

Students will be required to complete a Student Parking Permit Application form (PDF), including a parent signature, before a permit may be purchased. Forms will be displayed on this page and can be filled out and copied and then brought to Mr. Barrickman or they can be picked up in the main office or in the security office, room 1310. Checks may be made payable to BDHS.

Passes can be purchased online using a credit card. The credit card company collects a $5.00 fee for this transaction so a pass purchased online will cost $105.00. If a pass is purchased using a check or cash, the cost will be $100.00, but it cannot be purchased online. Link to purchase online: Student QuickPay

Student parking will be in the main lot in front of the school. All student vehicles must be parked in marked spaces in the main lot. Students are not permitted to park in spaces marked for visitors, those painted and reserved by a senior, or in the few spaces reserved for staff.

Seniors that wish to paint their parking space should follow the direction of Dr. Meints. The application to do this, as well as the approval for the design, must be approved by her prior to decorating.

Technology Help & Device Tips

When students encounter a technology problem on a school device, there are steps to follow to get assistance. 

  1. Students (or a classmate or teacher) can complete a PWCS Tech  Request (link in PWCS Sites folder in Chrome/Edge and in all Canvas courses). 
  2. Our Technical Support Specialist will then reach out to the students and the current classroom teachers via email with further instructions.  
  3. If the device cannot be quickly fixed, a loaner device will be issued for temporary use.  Note - Loaner devices are not issued when school devices are forgotten at home. 

 

Some regular device maintenance will keep the school device running efficiently.  

  1. Weekly, students should run updates at home.  Directions (PDF)
  2. Daily, students should shut down the laptop in the evening and power it back on in the morning.  Power down by clicking the Windows key, pressing the Power icon, and choosing Shut down.  (Image below)
  3. Devices should be charged at home every afternoon/evening.
