Senior Panoramic Photo

October 16, 2025 - BDHS Gym

The administration of Brentsville District High School has agreed to allow senior students to paint their parking spaces. Choosing to decorate your space allows you to not only personalize your space but creates a dedicated parking space for you during school hours.

Please know you must purchase a parking pass and pay to paint your spot for a total of $130 via https://www.studentquickpay.com/pwcs/.

Approval process steps:

• Submit the following to Dr. Meints for consideration:
  • A signed copy of the Painted Space Contract (linked below)
  • Your proposed design (linked below) *You must submit everything on these forms.
  • Senior Parking Space Letter, Contract, and Design (PDF)
• Once your design is approved by Dr. Meints:
  
  • Pay for your parking permit and painted space at StudentQuickPay. *Do not pay until your spot is approved.
• Paint your spot.

Parking Space Decoration Expectations
Students must submit a design for consideration and receive approval PRIOR TO purchasing and choosing a parking space. The design should be completed on the Senior Parking Design Request form. The form should be completed in color and be an accurate representation of the design. Adjustments to designs are not permitted after approval. All paint used must be water-based latex paint – absolutely no spray paint, reflective or florescent paint may be used.

Students are expected to paint over the design in black prior to graduation.

These designs will be displayed on school property and could appear to be school, or school-division endorsed. Therefore, designs that are religious, political, or controversial in nature will not be approved. The administration of Brentsville District High School reserves the right to not approve any design that it deems offensive or inappropriate. The judgment of appropriateness of design is at the sole discretion of the school administration.

Prohibited designs include, but are not limited to:

• Offensive language, pictures, or symbols
• Negative or rude language
• Gang-style tagging
• Double entendre
• Other students’ names or likenesses

Observer accounts are available to Prince William County Public Schools parents and/or guardians of students using Canvas.

Observers (parents and/or guardians) can link their Canvas account to their student's account so they can see announcements and other course content. Observers may view the course content, but they cannot participate in the course.

Students and Parents/Guardians can follow the linked directions (PDF in English and Spanish) to set up the Observer accounts.

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.
