Parking Permits

:


Parking permits are required to park on campus. You must have a current 2023-2024 parking permit. Your permit needs to be facing outwards so we can see the current permit hanging from your rearview mirror. Old permits and backwards facing permits will not work and could result in getting a parking sticker on your car. Student parking permits can be purchased from the following link: https://www.bixbyps.org/o/bixby-high-school/page/parking-permits



Students will need to do the following to purchase a parking permit

:


1) Please pay the $15 for the athletic drug test on My School Bucks.


2) Please pay the $20 for the parking permit on My School Bucks.


3) Fill out the Google form on the BHS website.


Once all 3 steps are completed, you can pick up your permit from Mrs. Simic in the Assistant Principal's Office, which is located next to the Attendance Office in the East hallway.



Also a reminder the Bixby High School is a
