Student Parking Application Instructions

Parking hang-tags for the 2023 – 2024 school year will be randomly assigned based on grade level. It is extremely important for you to take your time and ensure all information entered into the online form is complete and correct.  At the time of pick-up, students must have the proper picture ID and proof of payment.

Please review the directions below.  The link to the application will be found at the conclusion of the instructions.

    Step 1: Gather the Following Documents

    • Driver's License or Learner's Permit
    • Primary vehicle information:
      • Owner, make, model, color, license plate number, and license plate state
        • Listed vehicles must be registered to the applicant and/or the applicant’s parent or guardian
    • Secondary vehicle information (if applicable):
      • Owner, make, model, color, license plate number, and license plate state
        • Listed vehicles must be registered to the applicant and/or the applicant’s parent or guardian
    • Insurance information
       

    Step 2: Complete & Submit the Google Form

    (Submissions open August 9th at 3:00 pm)

    Student and parent or guardian must complete the application together

    • You must be logged out of all other Google accounts.
    • Sign in to your FCPS Google account to complete the Google Form.
    • Only one response per FCPS student ID will be allowed.
    • Google will save your progress and answers along the way.
    • For the purpose of the application, students commuting to Westfield who are siblings residing in the same household, both possessing a driver’s permit/license, and who will take turns driving, can be designated as “carpoolers” and should indicate such at the appropriate place on the application.  However, each student must submit a separate application and complete the requirements individually.
    • The parking application will include a parental attestation attesting to their student’s legal right to drive in Virginia.
       

     Step 3: Watch the Student Safety Briefing Video

    • Use the weblink referenced at the conclusion of the Google Form to view a digital version of the Student Parking Meeting via EdPuzzle.
    • Participation in viewing this safety briefing is a mandatory part of the application process. The video viewing will be verified and a cumulative quiz administered at the end.
      • Students must pass with an 80% or higher score to demonstrate knowledge of the Westifeld parking expectations.
      • To expedite pickup, please screenshot your passing score.
        • This score will be verified - discrepancies may result in revoking your hang-tag.
    • You are required to pass the quiz before receiving your parking hang-tag.
