Vehicle Use

Students are allowed the privilege of driving their vehicle to school.  Permissible vehicles include only those legally registered for operation on public thoroughfares.  Unauthorized vehicles include dirt bikes, 3- and 4-wheeled ATVs, and any vehicle whose primary function is off-road work or recreation.  The only exception to this expectation is a snowmobile provided that the operator has filed the proper permission paperwork with the administration and that the snow conditions preclude any damage to school grounds.

Because it is our goal to provide a safe environment, students must abide by the driving and vehicle regulations listed below.  FAILURE TO DO SO WILL RESULT IN THE LOSS OF DRIVING PRIVILEGES.

  • Parking will only be allowed in designated areas in the front of the building or at the side of the building along the tree line. Students will park only in the “General Parking” (white lines) areas and will not park in “Staff Parking” (yellow lines) nor “Reserved Parking” (front) areas.  Students shall not park in the area behind the gym or next to the softball field.
  • Parking passes must be displayed by all vehicles that are parked at the high school, except as described below.  Prior to receiving a pass, a registration card must be filled out. Vehicles which are parked without a pass may be towed at the owner's expense.
  • The areas near the back entrance to Hadley Field and near the entrance to the soccer/field hockey fields are designated as “Open Parking” areas.  Passes are still required to park in these areas.  However, there is no plan to plow these areas in the winter.  They are only available for parking outside of the snow season.
  • Staff shall not park behind the gym unless specific permission is granted by the Principal.
  • Violations of these rules may result in removal of the vehicle from an invalid parking area AT OWNERS EXPENSE and loss of parking privileges.
  • After parking their car in the morning, students may not enter the parking lot during the school day without permission from the administration.  Neither may student(s) sit in a vehicle during the school day. 
  • A student may apply for a driving permit from River Valley Technical Center or Windham Regional Career Center.  A student who decides to drive independently to the career and technical center must follow these guidelines:
    • Unless actively involved in a co-curricular activity or given permission by the school administration for a special event, the student should not drive to BFUHS before departing for the center or stop by BFUHS after classes at the center.
    • A student who is excessively tardy or absent at the Career and Technical Center due to transportation problems may have his/her driving privilege revoked at the discretion of the administration.
  • If a vehicle is parked illegally, the person to whom the vehicle is registered with the school will be held accountable for any penalties.  In short, if you register your car with the school and someone to whom you loan the car (a friend or sibling) parks the car illegally, YOU will pay for the towing.  (Please ensure that anyone who borrows your car and brings it to school is aware of these parking regulations.)
  • Any violation of traffic laws (not wearing seatbelts, violations of graduated driver license provisions, any unsafe driving, etc.) may be cause for revocation of driving privileges for a period of time up to a permanent loss of driving privileges.
