 Senior Parking and Privileges

Senior Parking/Privileges information will be sent to student's MHS school email address after August 25, 2017 to senior students. Students must be eligible for graduation and have earned 90.0 credits to be considered a senior at Mahwah High School. Information will also be posted on the Student Portal in August.

On Monday, June 12, 2017, I met briefly with all junior students to review senior privileges and senior parking. Below is a summary of the points we discussed:

• In order to be eligible for senior privileges and senior parking you must have completed a minimum of 90.0 credits and be eligible to graduate in June 2018.
• All disciplinary obligations must have been satisfied and completed by June 21, 2017 to be eligible for privileges.
• All financial obligations must cleared with cafeteria, as well as all material must be returned to your teacher by the close of the school year. Check the portal for “Fines ($)”.
• Information and applications for senior privileges will be posted and available on the Student Realtime Portal the last week of August.
• You MUST have a license and a car to obtain a senior parking tag (no exceptions). We will have enough parking for everyone. If you get your license after September 6th, see Mr. Mac Farran once you get your license and he will give a tag if you meet the criteria.
• Parking will be given out on September 6, 2017 at 2:00 p.m. in the high school cafeteria in the order posted on the Realtime Portal. If you are away, see Mr. Mac Farran upon your return.

Scheduling:  All seniors must have their schedules set by August 31^st.  Should a senior drop a course or change his/her schedule after that date, all off-campus study hall privileges will be held and processes on October 15^th.
