Driving and Parking: Here’s What You Need To Know Message from Mrs. Humbles. Principal
Hi Colts!
One amazing part of high school is becoming a DRIVER! However, you may be confused about how it all works.
VOE - Verification of Enrollment
Happy birthday! In order to get a PERMIT or LICENSE, you must show a VOE from your school. This is proof that you are enrolled and attending school. We issue VOEs in accordance with the 90% attendance requirement. If you've been attending class as the law states, you will go through the easy process of getting a VOE from your AP. If you have too many absences/skips/tardies, you will be placed on an attendance contract and we will re-assess your attendance status after 3 weeks.
To get a VOE:
1. Complete the Request for VOE (available in your AP/attendance office)
2. Wait 24 hours and your AP will have your VOE...or a meeting date to be placed on an attendance contract.
Parking at AHS
Parking is not free. Students will pay a fee to park to help cover maintenance and parking lot upgrades. Students on free/reduced lunch will have their fees adjusted or removed. All student (and staff) drivers must have a parking pass to park at AHS. This means you must have a valid license and insurance on your vehicle.
Parking information is available on the AHS webpage.
Parking Spot Selection and Painting - Current Drivers
We allow any student driver the opportunity to purchase and paint a spot. Register now and come in person to select a spot.
Date: 8/7/25
Time: 8am - SENIORS and students who want the spot they painted last year (if available). If it's not available, we'll let you pick a new spot.
9am - All Drivers
I appreciate everyone's commitment to creating excellent student drivers, and while I always enjoy hearing feedback regarding how AHS should improve our students' driving abilities, I ask that everyone take a part in helping student drivers be successful.
Let's all own our part in teaching our students how to drive. Help your kids on the roads. Make sure they know the rules. And remember, your horn is for awareness, not to demonstrate your anger.
Let's have a great year on the roads, Colts!
Sincerely,
Stacie Humbles, Principal
The Arlington High School
First here. Best here.
