New School Year, New Parking Plan at SHS

As the new school year begins, will debut new parking assignments for students, faculty and visitors.

The goal is to increase the number of handicapped accessible parking spaces, and add convenient parking for visitors and community members.

Here are the details from the district website:

Bus Loop

The Bus Loop Parking Lot will be reserved for SHS visitors, handicapped registered vehicles, building and district administration, and select personnel. This change will increase available parking for SHS visitors/community members and handicapped registered vehicles. Only notified select personnel will be allowed to park in spots labeled “reserved.” School personnel utilizing the “reserved” parking will be notified by the building principal.

Staff Parking

All instructional and non-instruction faculty and staff (inclusive of teachers, teacher assistants, aides, clerical staff, custodial staff, and kitchen staff) parking will be located in the rear parking lot. Faculty and staff will have over 100 white lined parking spaces. All white lined faculty and staff parking will be on a first come, first serve basis. There will be no reserved parking in the rear of the school.

Student Parking

Seniors who hold a valid NYS drivers license and who have obtained a valid Southampton High School parking pass will be permitted to park in the rear parking lot. Students will be permitted to park in yellow lined parking spaces only. These parking spaces will be on a first come, first serve basis and will be located near the tennis courts in the rear parking lot. Seniors can obtain a parking pass from the assistant principal's office beginning September 17.

Additional Parking

All seniors with valid parking permits, faculty and staff have the option of parking on the newly designed parking spaces on Narrow Lane. The newly installed sidewalk provides a safe route to the front entrance of Southampton High School.
