North Lot - Staff and Students Only

Parents are NOT allowed to park in the North parking lot.  

The North lot is designated as a PERMIT-ONLY parking area for staff (shown in yellow) and students (shown in light blue). Students pay $50 annually for a guaranteed, safe spot to park their cars and go to school. Check out our Student Parking Permit guidelines for more about how to purchase permits, as well as expectations for drivers. 

There is NO student pick up after school in the North lot. Instead, please follow guidance outlined below for picking up students in the loop and for parking in designated parent parking areas. 

Staff may also park in the lot in front of the Elementary and Secondary school buildings.

Entering the Loop and Parent Parking Lots 

Main Entrance - Enter the loop off Washington Street. Remember this is two way traffic until the gate to the business center. You will drive eastbound and form two lanes after the gate, one headed toward the parent parking lot (green arrow) and one toward the continuous drive & drop lanes (yellow arrow). If you need to park or exit your car for ANY REASON you should plan to park (follow the green arrow). At the first split, drivers on the continuous drive & drop route should form two lanes and will need to merge with drivers entering from 144th Avenue entrance. Keep to the right  lane for drop off/pick up in front of the Elementary building or move to the left lane for continuous traffic flow toward the Secondary building or the loop exit. 

North Entrance - In the morning, families can also choose to utilize the North entrance to drop off (through traffic signal). You will need to make a full loop around the North parking lot (red arrow) driving past the north side of the Secondary Building, west side of the Field House and front of the Performing Arts building. You will exit at the traffic signal. From this entrance, there is no drop off lane next to the Secondary building and you cannot access the loop closest to the Elementary building. As a reminder, parking in the North lot is reserved ONLY for staff and students with assigned permits. THE NORTH PARKING LOT IS CLOSED AFTER SCHOOL-- NO PICK UP ALLOWED UNTIL AFTER 4pm.

Exiting the Loop and Parent Parking Lots

To exit the Stargate loop, please proceed through the traffic loop indicated by the yellow arrows, past the Secondary Building, past the field house, to the northern-most portion of our property and exit on to Washington at the traffic signal. Signs are posted and cones will help direct traffic.

To exit from the parent parking, follow the route indicated by the green arrows in the map back to the main Stargate entrance. Do not sit and wait to cut across Washington to u-turn and go south. Turn right on Washington, go north to the light on 146th and make a legal u-turn at the light. It is A LOT faster and safer to get out than waiting and impeding the flow of traffic.
