Student Vehicle Registration

Students are reminded that driving to school is a privilege, not a right. The following rules apply to the parking lot and student driving:

1. All students must register their vehicles. Students must complete a vehicle registration form to receive the permit. Permits may be transferred to other family vehicles. All vehicles that the student drives must be registered. Failure to register your vehicle by the end of the second week of the school year will result in a ticket/fine being issued moving forward and a meeting with a school administrator. For the 2025-26 school year, student parking permits at CHS will cost $20. Replacement permits will cost $5. Should the school permit students to personalize their assigned parking spaces through painting, an additional fee will apply. Further information will be provided if this option becomes available.
    
2. Parking checks by school officials will begin the third week of school.

Vehicle Registration:

• Go to www.chelseaschools.org and click on the Chelsea High School Page
• Click the iPark tab on the left
• Enter username and password (both are bulldog)
• Complete vehicle registration information
• Payment will be cash only in the office once registration is complete

3. The current year’s permit must be located on the rear view mirror so that the number is visible from the outside.

• ​​​​​​​Failure to properly display the permit on a registered vehicle will result in a $5.00 fine.
• After the first two weeks of school, any vehicle owner without a current-year permit will be fined $5.00 and may be required to remove the vehicle from campus and be considered “unexcused” while doing so.

4. Vehicles must be parked on the paved area within the lines.

• Students improperly parking will be fined $5.00.

5. The school reserves the right to assign student parking spots. Students will receive advance notice and will be expected to only park in their assigned, numbered parking spot. Students must only park in the designated student parking lot at CHS. All other parking areas on campus are off limits for student parking. 
    
6. Once students enter the parking lot they are not allowed to leave without the permission of the administration. Students are not to park on neighboring residential streets.

• Students parking in improper areas will be fined $5.00 for the 1st offense and $10.00 for the 2nd offense.
• Students who continue to park in restricted areas may have their vehicle towed and impounded. Students will be financially responsible to retrieve their vehicle. Students may also lose their driving privileges to Chelsea High School.

7. Any driving violations, including speeding (over 15 MPH), careless driving, reckless driving, failure to yield right of way, failure to stop, etc., will lead to a possible police report, plus:

• 1st offense – Warning
• 2nd offense – Loss of driving privileges for a minimum of one week
• 3rd offense – Up to permanent loss of driving privilege

8. Two unpaid fines will result in a student losing his/her driving and parking privileges until the fines are paid.

9. Students who drive to school and park on school property agree to the search of their vehicles by administrators who have “reasonable suspicion” that the student’s vehicle contains drugs, alcohol, weapons, or other items not permissible at school.
