2 Reserved Parking Spot Guidelines & Procedures 2017 STEP 1: Purchase a Reserved Spot Parking Permit online for $50 any time before 9:00 am on Friday, August 19, 2016 Eligibility: 15 credits + no more than 12 class period absences in the Spring 2016 semester, with no more than 4 absences in a single class. Non-school related absences will count towards the total, but school-related absences such as field-trips and testing do NOT count against the student (see the TEAMS Coding document at for more details). Students with excessive tardies or serious discipline infractions will not be eligible. A list of eligible students will be posted outside the library on May 31, 2016 and will also be available in the front office throughout the summer. Ineligible students with documented extenuating circumstances can submit an appeal by contacting Mr. Powell (joseph.powell@austinisd.org). The link to purchase your parking permit can be accessed by going to the Students tab and selecting Parking Permit on the website. Print out your temporary permit. STEP 2: Submit the Reserved Parking Spot Contract and your parking spot design during Dawg Days You and your parents should carefully read and sign the Reserved Parking Spot Contract. A school appropriate design for your parking spot MUST be included with the signed contract. Bowie will keep this, so make a copy for yourself. All spaces must be personalized or marked in some manner to indicate to other students that your space is reserved. Designs must be approved prior to painting. To ensure your design is approved before the designated painting time, submit your contract and design during Dawg Days. You will be contacted if there is a problem with your design. Designs will be still be accepted late on the morning of Friday, August 1, but there is no guarantee that it will be approved in a timely manner (students may have to delay painting). STEP 3: Select your reserved parking spot on the morning of Friday, August 19, 2016 (staggered assigned times) Parking spot selection is prioritized by the spring 2016 semester attendance record. Those with the fewest class period absences will be the first to pick their spots. Groups and selections times will be posted outside the library on May 31, 2016 and available in the office throughout the summer. Some parking spots are restricted. Students should check the schematic of the parking lot posted outside the library to identify which spots are available. With your temporary permit in hand, report on time to the Southwest Room to select your parking spot: GROUP 9:00 am GROUP 9:20 am GROUP 9:40 am GROUP 10:00 am GROUP 10:20 am GROUP 10:40 am GROUP 11:00 am GROUP 11:20 am GROUP 11:40 am GROUP J@ 12:00 pm Assigned groups will be posted outside library on May 31, 2016

3 STEP 4: Paint your parking spot, Aug. 19 from 1:00 pm 7:00 pm & Aug. 20 from 8:00 am 7:00 pm Personalize your parking spot by creating a design that reflects your interests, shows your school spirit, or simply an interesting or creative design (see examples below or search parking spot ideas ). Remember, all reserved parking spots must be personalized in some manner to indicate to others that it is reserved. To ensure that the paint dries by the first day of school, all painting must be finished by Saturday, Aug. 7:00 pm. No exceptions! Please block off your parking spot when you finish to ensure no one parks in it while it is drying. What you need: o WATER BASED INTERIOR OR EXTERIOR LATEX PAINT ONLY (no reflective paint, no fluorescent paint, and no spray paint) o a broom to sweep off your spot before painting o chalk to sketch your design before painting o a ruler or tape measure to mark the boundaries of your design (neat 8 unpainted border) o your copy of the approved design o paint brushes, paint rollers, paint trays, painters tape, stencils, trash bags and any other painting supplies you think you may need o friends and family to help you o something to block off your space while it is drying Be mindful of the heat -- please wear a hat, bring lots of water, a portable shade/canopy, etc. Paint can be expensive, so here are some tips to keep the cost down: o Austin ReBlend ( is a City of Austin program that gives away recycled paint (yes, it s free). The ReBlend pickup is located at 2513 Business Center Dr., Austin, TX and is open Mon-Fri 9 am to 5 pm and Saturday 7 am to noon (no appointment necessary). Go early in the summer to make sure there s plenty of paint to choose from! o Ask family, neighbors, and grandparents if they have any paint lying around that they aren t using (you can usually get it tinted at a local home supply store). o Home supply stores usually have paint in the clearance section of custom colors that people have chickened out on using. These paints are deeply discounted. o Talk to your friends about what colors they are using, and then go into together on the paint. o Simplify your design: more colors = more money. STEP 5: Paint over your design at the end of the year (prior to May 22, 2017) Students are required to paint over the entire parking space using (specific color TBD). Failure to do so will result in a $100 fine that must be cleared before graduation. OPTIONAL: The Bowie Color Guard will repaint your spot for $15 starting May 1, Contact Mr. Powell with questions (joseph.powell@austinisd.org)
