GENERAL INFORMATION

 

Reminder for all staff and students-There are no drinks other than water allowed in classrooms or the Library at any time.

 

Students still in need of an ID can get one at the Bookstore before and after school or at lunchtime.

 

 

Students please be aware of the city of Phoenix's parking policies for our surrounding community neighborhoods. We have been notified by Safeway Shopping Center Management, as well as Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office that O’Connor students parking in the business parking spaces can and will be towed at the vehicle owner’s expense.

 

Also REMINDER  there is NO PARKING allowed on the north curb of Hackamore in the student loading zone. All violators will be ticketed without warning sticker.

 

Please obey all posted signage.

 

Not obeying posted signage will result in your car being ticketed or towed at your expense.

 

If your car is towed see someone in security or conduct.

 

Students riding bicycles and skateboards on campus will need to use the sidewalks in a responsible manner, and not ride on the driveway entering the campus.  It is a safety issue with vehicle traffic.

Reminder: There is NO NEED TO LINE-UP. All parking spots will be determined via a lottery. There will be two lotteries: one for future seniors who turn in their application between 5/2 and 5/6 and a second lottery for all future juniors and seniors who turn in applications between 5/9 and 6/3.
