Parking Permits
Parking permits are required to park on campus. You must have a current 2022-2023 parking permit, old permits will not work and could result in getting a parking sticker on your car. Student parking permits can be purchased from the following: https://www.bixbyps.org/o/bixb...
Students will need to do the following to purchase a parking permit:
1) Must pay $15 for an athletic drug test on My School Bucks
2) Must pay $20 for parking permit on My School Bucks
3) Fill out Google Doc on BHS website... make, model and tag number of your vehicle
Once all 3 steps are complete, Mrs. Simic can issue you a permit. She's located in the Assistant Principals office, next door to the Attendance Office in the east hallway.
Also, a reminder that Bixby High School is a closed campus for all lunches and all students are expected to eat in the cafeteria areas. Further, students are expected to remain in those areas for the duration of the lunch period. Students SHOULD NOT BE IN THE PARKING LOT OR OTHER AREAS OF THE SCHOOL DURING THEIR ASSIGNED LUNCH PERIODS WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE OFFICE. If you arrive at school during your lunch period, you should proceed immediately to the cafeteria areas. Students in violation of these policies will be subject to discipline.
