Student Parking on MSA Campus

Parking Enforcement Begins September 2023.

Throughout the school day the MSA parking lots will be monitored and periodically patrolled by an MSA staff member. If someone is parked in your assigned spot, report it to the Building B office immediately. No one should park in a numbered parking spot without a corresponding parking permit. Parking without a permit may result in a fine or towing. License plate numbers will be recorded.

1st Offense: A warning. Upon a vehicle's first offense a warning sticker will be placed on the driver's side window.
2nd Offense: A fine. Upon a vehicle's second offense a violation sticker will be placed on the driver's side window and a fee of $35 will be applied to the student's account.
3rd Offense: Tow. Upon a vehicle's third consecutive offense the vehicle will be towed at the owner's expense.

Starting in the 2023-2024 school year all parking spots on the MSA campus will be assigned to staff and students. There will be no unassigned spots, so everyone who wishes to park must have an assigned spot. 

  • Students may apply for the opportunity to purchase a parking permit at the beginning of the school year and, if any spots are available, at the beginning of the second semester. 
  • Full-year parking permits permits cost $100; Semester parking permits cost $50.
  • Parking permits will be prioritized in the following order: part-time PSEO students, out-of-district students, then grade level (seniors, juniors, sophomores).

Parents and students should familiarize themselves with MSA's new Parking and Student Driving Procedures.

Parking Permit applications for the 24-25 school year are currently OPEN.

Parking on MSA Campus

MSA Staff and Students must only park in their assigned spots, while caregivers and visitors must park in spots labeled "visitors" only. For any afterschool activities, all MSA staff, students, caregivers, and visitors must park only in MSA parking spaces. Please refrain from parking in our business neighbors' lot. Refusal to adhere may result in our neighbors reporting such violations to local law enforcement and towing of vehicles. Please refer to the picture below (RED - Do Not Park; GREEN - MSA Parking) and as always, be a good neighbor.Horton Parking (1).png

Parking Lot Procedures for Morning Drop-Off and Afternoon Pick-Up

MSA Families, please familiarize yourself with the morning drop-off and afternoon pick-up procedures.

  • Student safety is our number one priority.
  • Buses require a large amount of space to maneuver, please yield to them.
  • Follow all parking lot monitors' directions.
  • Utilize safe driving practices including following posted speed limits, obeying traffic signs, and yielding to pedestrians.
  • Respect our neighbors (residents and businesses) by not blocking their driveways, driving on their lawns, or preventing their clients from reaching them.
  • Students are only able to enter school buildings after 9:00am (unless if they are meeting with a teacher, coach, or advisor). Paid study hall option is available.
  • All "non-bus riding" students are dismissed at 4:00pm. Try not to arrive any earlier than 4:00pm as to allow buses to leave in a timely manner and alleviate traffic congestions.
  • Do not leave your vehicle unattended in the pick-up/drop-off lane. Vehicles are not allowed to be parked in the roundabout.
  • Do not skip the parent pick up line, you will be asked to return to the back of the line.
  • Do not text/call/ask your students to walk down the parent pick up line. This is dangerous and causes congestion.
