Parking & Transportation

Parking Permit Required

*PEDESTRIANS HAVE THE RIGHT OF WAY*

Students who use the parking facilities at Bishop Kenny High School are required to obtain a parking permit to be displayed on the rear-view mirror of the vehicle. Parking permits ensure that all vehicles at BK are properly insured and all drivers are properly licensed. The permit is transferable to any vehicle registered with the school from any one family.

The permit price is $110.00. If you drive an oversized truck (dimensions: 19'L x 7' 33"W or greater) you must contact Crusader Corner in order to purchase your permit. The permit fee is non-refundable, and permits must not be sold to or exchanged with any other person. Permits are the sole responsibility of the students to whom they are issued. Permits may be purchased online on the school website. A valid Florida driver’s license and proof of insurance are required to purchase a permit. A $20.00 fee will be charged for a replacement permit.

Parking is a limited commodity; junior and senior students will have the first opportunity to obtain parking permits. If there are remaining spaces, sophmores with a valid Florida driver's license will have the opportunity to enter a parking permit lottery September 1st-September 7th. Lottery winners will be notified via email and can purchase a parking permit online on the school website begining on September 8th, 2022. Students who purchase a permit will be assigned parking spaces and are required to park in their assigned spaces. Students are not allowed to exchange spaces or tags. Students are NOT permitted to park on Assumption Church property.

Failure to display a permit, parking in the wrong spot, or parking on campus without a permit will result in a $15.00 fine and must be paid at Crusader Corner within 3 school days. Failure to pay parking fine will result in a disciplinary referral. Students who drive carelessly will be assigned a disciplinary referral.

The school reserves the right to rescind the parking permit.

City Ordinance 89-134-69 allows for the City of Jacksonville’s Parking Enforcement Division to issue citations to motor vehicles improperly licensed, expired tag, and illegally parked in handicapped parking spaces. Periodically, the enforcement officer will patrol the Bishop Kenny property and has the authority to issue citations to violators. The officers are not part of our security enforcement and Bishop Kenny High School cannot prohibit their enforcement.

A student may not leave campus during official school hours without written permission from a parent that has been confirmed by the Office of the Dean of Students. Excessively loud or offensive music is not to be played on school grounds. Students are NOT permitted access to cars during the school day. This includes visiting cars for lunches, physical education uniforms, iPads, or class materials.

When driving on school property, a student must observe the 10 MPH speed limit. All speed and driving laws are to be observed on campus and in the neighborhoods adjoining the campus. Students are not permitted to attach flags of any kind to their vehicles while on campus.

The administration reserves the right to search any car at any time on Bishop Kenny property.

All students are expected to use the pedestrian overpass whenever walking across Atlantic Boulevard and are to exercise reasonable caution when walking in all areas where vehicular traffic may be encountered.

Students may be dropped off and/or picked up in the traffic circle on the east side of Kingman Avenue in front of the 200 building OR in the faculty parking lot on the west side of Kingman Avenue on the south side of the 100 building. These areas are for pause and go traffic only and parent/student parking is not permitted. For the safety and consideration of all pedestrians and motorists, these are the only areas permitted for drop-off and pick-up. (See Campus Map, page 79)

Parents are asked to make arrangements to pick up students no later than 4:00 p.m. daily. Classroom buildings are locked at 4:00. Only those students participating in athletics or scheduled club activities are supervised after regular school hours.
