APPLICATION: JTHS Student Parking Applications are available online using the link contained on the Jackson Township HS website (link on the right sidebar), on the Student Parking Google Classroom, or during school in C113. Please read the entire packet and follow the submission instructions for this school year indicated on this webpage. Failure to do so properly will result in a delay in the processing of the application.

DOCUMENTS: Do not forget to include copies of the applicant's Driver's License, Registration of the vehicle the applicant will be driving to JTHS, and an insurance card of the vehicle as well. Please be sure to check that the Registration and Insurance do not expire before the first day of classes. The student will not be able to get the parking decal until current documents are provided. Any issues with the documents you’ve provided will be communicated to the student through their District Gmail account. Students are encouraged to check their accounts periodically.

GOOGLE CLASSROOM: JTHS students can find out information on Student Parking before the school year begins by visiting this webpage or by following the Student Parking 2025-2026 Google Classroom. If you did not receive an email invitation to join the Google page, please contact Mrs. Linke via email at rflinke@jacksonsd.org. 

FEES: The District will be collecting a $10.00 parking decal fee per semester for each student desiring to drive to school. At JTHS, the preferred payment method is cash. Students can pay with a personal check or money order if necessary. If the student is an Early Exit Senior (course fulfillment in January/February), the fee will be $10.00. If the student intends to park the entire school year, the fee will be $20.00, paid in full when the student picks up the parking decal. Please note that there will be no proration; payment is either $20 to park the entire school year or $10 to park a single semester in the school year. 

PROCESS: Please read this section carefully. Please note: if the student is not yet ready to drive to JTHS, the process to apply any time this school year is the same. However, once school starts, JTHS students can bring their application, accompanying documents, and payment to the Assistant Principals office at C113 as indicated under “ONCE SCHOOL IS IN SESSION”.
