Senior Parking

Senior students are permitted to purchase a reserved parking spot at their designated high school which the student can paint in accordance with the following rules and restrictions. This KISD tradition is an important part of your Senior celebrations and is intended to provide Senior students with an opportunity to express their school spirit and their plans post-graduation. 

• A Senior may only purchase on reserve spot. 

• The parking lot will be locked and reserved for painting July 26th - 27th and August 2nd - 3rd. 

• You will not be able to pull up and park next to your spot. This is an effort to avoid driving over wet parking spots and/or paint supplies that make a bigger mess in the parking lot. 

• It will be HOT, so plan accordingly. Here are some suggestions: 

  • A tent/canopy for shade, hats, sunscreen. 

  • A cooler of cold drinks/water/snacks to stay hydrated. 

  • Towels/paper towels for spills/messes/sweat. 

  • Lawn chairs. 

• All designs must be school appropriate and approved in advance by the administration. If it is not, your spot will be painted over, and you will lose your reserved spot. PLEASE don't allow your decision to force us to paint over your parking spot. 

• Guidelines: 

  • The lot will not be cleaned by a power wash company and you are NOT allowed to power wash your spot. Doing so may damage surrounding areas. Use a scraper, broom, and soapy water. 

  • The standard size of a parking spot is 9 feet wide and 18 feet long. 

  • You may use any color of paint. 

  • Do not use oil-based paint, gloss paints, or sealers. They make the spots too slippery. 

  • No spray paint of any kind may be used. 

  • It is recommended that you begin with a base coat. 

    • If you choose to use a primer, it will create a fast seal before putting down color. 
    • Advisors suggest using paint for concrete as a base coat. 

  • Do not paint over dividing lines, over your space number, or on the curb. 

  • Trash bags: All trash, paint materials, and items used during the painting period MUST be cleaned and cleared from the parking lot before leaving each day. Bring trash bags with you! Failure to clean up after yourself could result in the forfeit of your spot. 

• Artwork Approval: 

  • Topic acceptable for student artwork. 

    • School spirit, including students groups, clubs, teams or activities the student participates in; and 

    • The student's post-graduation plans, such as work. Career, college, military, etc. 

  • Artwork must not: 

    • Be obscene, vulgar, offensively lewd, or indecent. 

    • Violate the intellectual property rights, privacy rights, or other rights of another person or defame another person; 

    • Promote illegal drug use, use of alcohol, tobacco/e-cigarettes, or controlled substances; 

    • Depict any item prohibited under the Student Code of Conduct; 

    • Depict weapons, depict or encourage violence, or endorse actions endangering the health or safety of students.

  • Artwork must be submitted and approved by administration prior to painting on June 16th in order to get your spot on July 24th.  Artwork submitted after June 16th will not be approved until after July 21th .
• No graffiti.
• Senior spots are only reserved for use during the school day. We cannot guarantee availability during after school events. If someone is parked in your spot during the school day, please notify a Security Officer or your Assistant Principal. 
• Any violations can result in a loss of reserved parking. Your fee will be used to clean your spot, and no reimbursements will be made. 
• We have the right to paint over, confiscate and re-sell spaces that include content that is not approved through the approval process.
