Student Parking

Student Parking at MHS

The 2022-2023 School Year Parking Permit application process has closed. We are no longer accepting applications.

Parking Pool Information

For the 2022-2023 school year, we prioritized permit distribution through a pool process. The process is outlined below. The cost for a permit is $300. per carpool.

Our Carpools are:

Pool 1: 4 licensed Junior or Senior drivers**
Pool 2: 3 licensed Junior or Senior drivers**
Pool 3: 2 licensed Junior or Senior drivers**
Pool 4: Senior Individual (if available)

**This year- the parking permit process only counted Junior or Senior students with their drivers license as of September 1st as carpool members for a designated pool.

At MHS, carpooling is the key to success for parking, as we rely on this system to maximize the number of students we can accommodate. Students that make arrangements to carpool are prioritized as we distribute permits. Many of our students are heavily involved in activities and have unique schedules. We have a limited number of parking spaces and carpooling allows us to optimize the use of our lot. We are unable to prioritize individual permits for students based on schedules, activities, or living out of district.

The School District does provide transportation based on the criteria and information on the district's transportation website: https://www.minnetonkaschools.org/district/departments/transportation
