Student Parking

 

MRHS 26-27 Senior Parking Information

At Mountain Ridge, we have only approximately 400 student parking spots, and for the 26-27 school year, we will have well over 2800 students, which means parking is only available to Seniors (and certain WestMec Juniors), but even then, we will still have close to 675 Seniors. This means that parking permits will be issued on a first-come, first-served basis, which is why it is very important that all the following procedures be followed carefully and thoroughly. 

Also, please note that what some people refer to as the "Junior Lot" at the church down the street has nothing to do with Mountain Ridge High School - that parking is handled independently by the church. 

All Parking Fees Are Due By 8:00 AM Friday, 5/9
(or your parking spot will then be given to somebody on the wait list)
 

 

phase 2 parking application process

The Phase 2 Application Process Is Now Closed

• On Tuesday, April 28, emails will be sent to the student's learner email account to let them know the status of their Phase 2 application

• If the application is accepted but there are NO spots available, the student will be notified and be placed on a waitlist in the order the application was received

 

Phase 1 parking application process

4/1 Update on Phase 1

• Emails will be sent out on Monday, May 6th to student @learner accounts letting them know if their application was accepted or denied. If an application was denied, those students will need to reapply for Phase 2 application, which will open on Monday, April 20th, at 7 PM
• There has been a change in the process to pay for the parking spot. We need to wait until the DVUSD Governing Board votes on the district's 26-27 fee schedule on Tuesday, 4/28 so we know how much to charge. IF a student's application was accepted, the parking fee will be added to their account on Friday, May 1st, and the payment will be due by 8:00 AM on Wednesday, May 6th. An email reminder will be sent to all those students.

Application Details

To complete the application process, you will need the following information and items for the car you plan to drive: 

• • Student ID Number
  • Image of Arizona driver's license (Permits are not accepted)
  • Image of the current Arizona vehicle registration
  • Image of current proof of insurance
  • Vehicle make, model, color, and license plate number
  • If you are going to be a Junior next year and attending WestMEC during the school day, you will need an image of your proof of acceptance showing a class time between 7:00 AM and 2:12 PM. For the approval process, a driving permit is accepted if the WestMec student will have their official license by August 3rd, 2026 (The first day of school)

If you need to drive a different vehicle at any time, it is not a problem as you will be provided with instructions on how to update your car information either temporarily or permanently.

Since spots will fill quickly, it is recommended that you gather all the information above and have it ready to upload once the application link goes live.
