Student Driving

The Sumner School District provides adequate transportation for all students. High school students may drive automobiles to and from school. Students may not drive or leave the campus during the school day without the consent of the parent and principal (SSD Policy 3242 Closed Campus). A registration and permitting process is required of all student drivers. Corrective actions for violations of district driving guidelines contained in policy, procedure, student handbooks and the parking permit application may include fines, vehicle booting or towing, or loss of driving and parking privileges.

A student may use the school parking lot subject to the following conditions:

  1. A student must register the car and receive a parking permit through the high school. The student must possess and maintain a valid Washington driver's license, show evidence of liability and property damage insurance coverage on the vehicle, and acknowledge that he/she will assume full responsibility for any comprehensive or collision claims that may occur while on school property. Parking on school district property is at the owner’s/driver’s own risk. The school district does not assume any liability or responsibility for damage to or loss of privately owned vehicles or property in vehicles at any time.
  2. Students may not occupy a vehicle (without permission) during the school day. Parking lots are considered off campus during the school day, but are still district property. All district and school policies govern conduct in any district parking lot; and
  3. In terms of student conduct rules, "possession" of alcoholic beverages, illegal chemical substances or opiates, firearms or dangerous weapons will also extend to a student's vehicle. All vehicles parked on campus may be subject to search according to SSD Policy 3230 Student Privacy and Searches.
