Student Parking at Da Vinci

For students planning to park a vehicle at school: Please review the Student Parking Letter to Parents and Students. This letter contains important information regarding parking at the 201 campus, including the requirement for all vehicles to display a valid parking permit and details about the overflow parking arrangements at the parking structure located at 181 S. Douglas Street.

Below is a summary of the key points addressed in the letter:

  • Parking Permits: All vehicles parked on the 201 campus must display a valid parking permit during school hours. Failure to do so may result in a citation or towing.
  • Overflow Parking: We have secured overflow parking at 181 S. Douglas Street, effective September 3, 2024. Specific instructions for using this parking area are included in the letter.
  • Behavior Expectations: Students are reminded to treat the parking facilities with respect, as representatives of the Da Vinci Schools Community.
