Make plans on spending the evening with friends and family painting and eating pizza at the Reserved Parking Space Paint Party in the AHS student parking lot next to the Gym Doors. We will have two sessions that you can choose from to paint your spot. You will choose a painting date when you purchase your parking spot. This is your opportunity to design and paint your own personalized spot to show your Bumblebee school spirit and class pride! The Parking Lot Paint Party is sponsored by AHS Class of 2023.
Costs: parking tag payment to AHS of $5 (which will be issued when you show up to paint.)
Seniors: $50 payment to AHS Class of 2023 for the reserved parking spot that the student will paint (total $55)
Juniors and Sophomores: $60 payment to AHS Class of 2023 for a reserved parking spot that students will paint (total $65)
(If you choose not to paint your spot an additional $10 fee will be added and AHS Class of 2023 will paint an Academy A on it to designate it being your reserved spot.)
All students wishing to reserve a parking space must complete the following steps:
1. Read these Guidelines.
2. Complete the AHS Class of 2023—Reserved/Painted Parking spaces google form and submit with design.
3. You will be notified if your design was approved and then you will show up on the designated date to pay and reserve your spot. If you are a returning reserved space holder you may request to keep your same spot.
4. If your design is not approved you will need to submit a new design and obtain approval before you can reserve a spot.
5. Print the responses (these will be emailed to you) and have the student and a parent/guardian sign the responses and return on sign-up day with a copy of the approved design and payment.

GUIDELINES FOR YOUR DESIGN– Think of your design as a t-shirt that you would wear to school. Your spot must meet dress code approval! Keep it classy! You may include your name, jersey number, an instrument you play, your hobby, famous quotes or slogans, and anything unique to you so as it meets with the administration's approval.
PROHIBITED:
No offensive language, images, inferences, pictures, symbols, etc.
No negative, foul, or rude language.
No political messages, slogans, or logos.
No gang-style tagging.
No double meanings.
No corporate or business advertising.
Only the student’s name, monogram, or initials can be painted on the spot. (No boyfriends/girlfriend/friend’s names allowed).
Get application and designs in early to allow for extra time if a design needs to be re-done. All designs must be colored on your design form to be approved. If it is determined any time throughout the school year that your design does not meet these qualifications, the school will paint over your spot in black paint. Disciplinary action could be taken, and students may forfeit their right to use a reserved parking space and/or the privilege to drive/park on campus.
PAINT REQUIREMENTS– You will be responsible for providing all paint and paint supplies (brushes, rollers, tape, pans, etc.) NO SPRAY PAINTS, GLITTER PAINTS, CHALK PAINT, OR CLEAR COAT PAINTS WILL BE ALLOWED. The use of any unauthorized paint will result in the forfeiture of our space and a $50 fee for cleaning. You are only allowed to paint within the allowed area. Paint only in the center of the space leaving a 12-inch border from the side white lines and the front and back of the parking spot. If any paint is spilled or is outside of the marked spot it will result in a fine of $50.
