Student Parking

About 

Limited automobile parking for students is provided as a convenience. Parking is a privilege, not a right. Barrington High School will only issue parking permits to seniors and juniors (juniors by semester rotation) as spots are available. Freshmen and sophomores DO NOT have permission to park on campus or in the Field of Dreams parking lot. 

Barrington 220 and Barrington High School are not responsible for the automobile or its contents, parking is at your own risk. Cars should be locked at all times. If the parking lot is full, it will be the student’s responsibility to locate the parking lot security attendant to secure a parking space. If the student is unable to locate outside security, it will be the student’s responsibility to report to the Campus Security counter at Door 1 immediately. School authorities have the right to check/search vehicles on school property. Search, based upon reasonable cause, may include the passenger compartment, engine compartment, and trunk, all containers locked or unlocked in or upon the vehicle. 
 

Consequences

Vehicles not displaying valid parking permits or those illegally parked will be ticketed (by the Village of Barrington) and/or towed at the owner’s expense. Noncompliance with parking rules/regulations, attendance concerns and/or truancy may result in the loss of parking privileges for the current year and potentially the following, SPURS eligibility, or other privileges such as participation in clubs, activities, sports or school sponsored events at Barrington High School. Barrington High School reserves the right to issue tickets, and/or towing of the vehicle at the owner’s expense. 

Parking Registration 

Parking requests are part of our yearly online registration process and take place in the beginning of May. Students need to have a zero balance for all fees and obligations in order to request parking. Parking fee will be assessed in June or July for the following school year. Payment timestamp will determine priority of rotation if necessary.
