Seattle Academy provides morning and afternoon bus service in many areas where our students live.  Bus service enables students to arrive safely and ontime to classes, reduces traffic congestion from individual cars on Capitol Hill and relieves the pressure on parking.  We feel it provides a service to our families, makes us better neighbors as we reduce traffic in the area and provides a transportation alternative that reduces our overall carbon impact. Our busses are easily recognized. They are yellow and/or have SEATTLE ACADEMY or HARLOWS on the side.

Parking Information

Sign ups for parking permit forms for the 2020/21 school year are now open for junior and senior families. If you sign up for a parking permit, we ask that you review and follow the rules that have been established for parking. Everyone who parks on campus, including faculty and staff, pays for a parking permit in order to subsidize the high cost of providing parking in the city.

The school makes every effort to provide sufficient parking, while acknowledging the fact that parking is increasingly scarce in our neighborhood. This will be especially true this year as we are looking at using our spaces, including parking areas, more creatively to meet the social distancing requirements due to COVID-19.  

Seattle Academy secures parking in the neighborhood through volume leasing of parking lots and spaces. Families will be billed at the end of each trimester at the rates below. Families will only be charged for those weeks their student is scheduled to be on campus.

• Carpool: $45 per week
• Individual: $55 per week

SEATTLE ACADEMY PARKING ALLOCATION

Families that meet the deadline of August 7 will be considered in the first pool for permits. Within the first pool, permits will be assigned in order of the following criteria:

• Student drivers of carpools serving 4 or more Seattle Academy students
• Student drivers of carpools serving 3 Seattle Academy students
• Student drivers of carpools serving 2 Seattle Academy students
• Individual Seniors
• Individual Juniors

Families that submit their application after the deadline will be considered on a first-come basis depending on availability.

SEATTLE ACADEMY PARKING GUIDELINES

Please read carefully and retain the following guidelines for reference during the year. If you wish to purchase a 2020/21 parking permit, please submit the permit application with payment.

• Students who drive to school will not be allowed to park in school lots unless they have purchased parking permits and have them on display in their cars. Permits specific to the assigned lots will be issued, and cars will be monitored for display of permits.
• Any car parked in a school lot without a current permit on display may be towed at the owner’s expense.
• Any permitted driver who continues to park in a lot that has not been assigned to them, after being warned, will have their permit revoked.
• Any permitted driver who continues to drive recklessly in or near a school parking lot will have their permit revoked.
• Parking permits are exclusive to the lot to which the student has been assigned; cars may not be driven between lots and parked under one permit in different parking lots.
• Permits may be transferred between cars in a carpool. Permits are designed to hang from the rearview mirror for convenience in transferring them between cars.
• Seattle Academy and/or our parking lot lease partners are not responsible for damage to or loss of your vehicle or its contents.
• For those assigned in the 16^th Avenue lot, parking is not allowed in the lot during the Temple’s Religious holidays, such as Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. We are asked to vacate the lot no later than 5 PM the day prior to the holiday. For 2020/21, Rosh Hashanah is on Saturday, September 18, so SAAS vehicles should be out of the lot on Friday, September 17, no later than 5 PM. Yom Kippur is on Monday, September 28.
• Seattle Academy reserves the right to notify student drivers in advance of any days when parking will not be allowed in school lots.
• Parking Permits are for parking from 7:30 AM to 3:00 PM, Monday through Friday, except as otherwise notified.
• Parking for school-sponsored after-school activities and events will be on a first-come-first-served basis. If you have a permit to park in a lot during the school day, you may leave your car there for a school-sponsored after-school activity unless otherwise notified; otherwise your car must be moved by 3:30 PM.
• Refunds for returned permits will only be given if requested on or before September 21, 2020.
• If you purchase a carpool permit, and later lose your carpoolers (or vice-versa), please notify Julie Gommi.
• Please be good neighbors. How we drive and park is a very visible aspect of our presence in the community.
