My son is a senior this year that drives to school and will need a permit and is concerned.

As it states, I feel my student has earned the right to have special parking. It's not much, but we'll take what we can get. She's also part of the band/color guard and has a lot of late night football games and competitions. The further the walk to her vehicle in off hours, the more dangerous it is for her.

I have a senior who is concerned about this

My son is a senior with off blocks and is in band. He shouldn't have to park in the third lot just because his schedule may be slightly different. If there are extra spaces in the main lot then let that subset go to juniors and still reserve all the spaces needed for seniors. We know the # of senior parking stickers and the # of parking spaces. Subtract the first from the second and mark the ones left at the far end as open parking.

The class of 2018 has been screwed over every single year based on rule changes that seem to only benefit the year above or below us. I believe seniors should have priority parking in the main lot.

This petition expresses my views.

I have a senior student and I do agree with what's mentioned in the petition.

The lottery system worked well for Juniors last year and should be utilized again for this coming school year for the Junior class. If the main lot is underutilized then additional main lot passes should be issued to Juniors through the lottery.

We are all feeling a bit slighted, I think. These seniors have not had a good run of it with the parking situation last year and now this year's.
They'd appreciate being able to solely park in the field house lot. Thank you!

My son is a varsity athlete and definitely is adversely affected by this change in policy.

Class of 2018 has always gotten the worst parking deal, even when we are seniors.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#45

Our grade has suffered awful parking all our years and we thought our senior year would finally be our year

Hey Acosta You need to fix this bc it sucks

I'm signing because as a student of the 2018 class I know that my class has had to bite the bullet many times. My sophomore year, we lost the privilege of parking in the lots and because of that my car got pranked, kicked, and heck someone even shoved a tennis ball in my exhaust pipe which caused us to spend thousands of dollars on repairs because it got stuck and damaged the pipe. Then last year we lost the privilege of parking in the main lot and going off campus. I have personally loved my time at Westwood, but it seems that the class of 2018 has been constantly screwed over. It's time to give us some priority!

I am concerned about the stress level that my daughter already has related to academics, college applications, extra curricular envolvment, work. Can't we just give the seniors one less thing to worry about and give them guaranteed main lot Parking. All seniors every year?

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

Being able have an available on-site/in-campus parking spot is one of very few perks of being a Senior and of having endured the prior years of academic rigor at WHS. Sharing the single color parking with the rest of the classes at the risk of having to park outside of the campus due to an off-block or off-site early sports activity is an insult to the Senior class.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#66

I'm signing because the class of 2018 hasn't not been treated as other seniors have and it is very unfair that just because we have a new principal we have to modify our expectations of our senior year.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#70

My son is an athlete that will be at school practice at 6:30am but because our school doesn't have facilities on site (like other schools in our district) he will, once again, not get a parking space. It's time to give them the small senior privileges they've been looking forward to!

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#71

I agree with tthis entirely and we have a senior that has a crazy schedule and this was the one thing that they have been looking forward to the last year of highschool!

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#73

There is nothing more stressful than September, October and November of Senior year during high school. Please do not add to the stress by removing guaranteed field house parking for the seniors.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#74

I support all points in this petition. Please reinstate senior priority parking.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#75

I have 6:30 practice, now I will have to park a long ways from school when I arrive from the pool.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#78

I have a morning off block and I am also a member of a Varsity team. This means that more than half of my off block will be spent driving to school extra early to prepare for the long walk, when it couldve been spent working on college applications, or any extracurriculars. Also, I will be forced to walk alone in the dark after soccer games and face unnecessary and easily avoidable dangers.

I fully support this petition!!!

#96

I graduated last year but I agree that the grade below me ( class of 2018) has been screwed over every year with parking.

(Austin , 2017-08-09)

#98

This is ridiculous I have an older brother and he got priority when he was a senior. Why all of a sudden is westwood turning soft on seniority! I have worked so very hard to earn seniority and you will NOT take it away from me!

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

I'm just trying to park close :))

The 2018 class deserves better.

#113

I'm a student at Westwood and we've gotten screwed over every year for parking

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#115

I am signing it is unfair to students in class of 2018

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#118

It's not fair that the class of 2018 has never had a guarantee parking spot in the main lot, each year we have been promised we will get a guaranteed spot by our senior year & now they are trying to take that away from us

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#124

As a senior on the swim team, our practices are off campus during first period so we will not be getting to school until about 10:00 in the mornings. The parking lot and even a lot of the street will be full by this time and we will have to park super far away.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#127

Our class never benefits from changes made by the administration in terms of parking

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#128

The conversation regarding this issue should have been more open to all of us.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#130

It's ridiculous that this is being taken from me on my last year when I've suffered through our horrible parking system for years

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#131

Not only has the class of 2018 gotten the worst parking situations of any class in recent history, but many seniors do not arrive at school as early as Juniors do. Many seniors have off blocks first block, and will be forced to park far away or possibly not get a spot at all. And like many have already mentioned, the majority of Varsity players are seniors, meaning that they arrive back at the school late after games. We have waited patiently for our chance to have proper parking at Westwood, and now that it had come, it is being taken away.

We have been burned every single year. when we were sophomores, unlike Westwood classes of the past, we couldn't park in the main lot. But we believed that in our next year as juniors we would finally have main lot parking access, which was not a reality many of us. As juniors, while we walked long distances to and from our cars, often in the dark, often in the cold, we understood why we weren't all garunteed main lot parking. We understood that seniors have had to endure parking woes longer than us, they've been waiting for longer than we have, and they're finally at the front of the line. Well, now we're seniors, and the line is being thrown out. This burns. I am stung. Truly cut deep. Not chill

I'm a senior and I'm tired of being screwed over

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

I have had my license since september my sophomore year and i haven't ever been able to park in the main lot, didn't win the lottery last year. please allow me

If principal Acosta is reading this, I am fairly disappointed in you. You made an effort the past two years to be as connected with your student body as possible and to be a friend to your students. This gesture speaks louder than words that you do not actually care about us or our needs and let the bureacracy screw us over once again. If you are a friend to the westwood student body, like I believe you are, then you will do everything in your power to reverse this decision.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#156

I think it is fair for us to have a year of exclusivity since we encountered tickets and difficulty to find a spot and it's not fair you changed the rules now that it would affect us negatively. Thank you.

(Cedar Park, 2017-08-09)

#160

Seniors have always had priority parking, and the majority of student drivers are seniors. It's not fair that juniors, sophomores, and even freshmen can get the same parking spots as us, when they don't have as much need for it as we do.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#161

This isn't a logical solution to the parking problem.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#162

After two years of being denied parking, I was looking forward to finally being rewarded for my patience. Now, with this, that may all be for nothing and I'll be stuckwalking a quarter mile from my truck to the field house at 6 am

#173

I agree that it's been very unfair to the class of 2018...they have endured many changes the past 3 years that past classes did not have to endure. They have had a lot of special privileges taken away and it's the icing on the cake to take a senior parking privilege away. There HAS to be another way to alleviate this parking issue you are trying to address.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#175

I'm signing because as a senior we as a class have repeatedly been given the short end of the stick when it comes to parking. It seems only suitable that we as a class get seniority over parking. I myself have been driving since the beginning of my sophomore year as well as most people in the 2018 class,and only see it fit that we get our long awaited time in the sun.

(Austin , 2017-08-09)

#176

I'm signing because us seniors on varsity and/or dance teams stay late at night for football games and other community activities, we find it un fair that if us seniors are trying to better our selfs by helping at our school shouldn't have to walk late at night to a car on the other side of the road. Also with this many seniors have a first or fifth block off block, they shouldn't be pushed to park by the tennis courts for having there schedule trying to accommodate there educational needs.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#179

I'm a senior this year and feel I and the rest of my class have suffered enough with parking in past years the justify senior priority in parking. I feel there is no valid reason to eliminate senior parking priority.

As a Westwood alumna, I support this petition for my sister in the Class of 2018.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#181

Class of 18 have waited 3 years for this moment... and now you are trying to take our priority away and give it to the Juniors??? Let the juniors wait for their turn next year! That's the only way it can be fair!!! Seniors first, always! Juniors can wait another year just like how everybody else did. I highly disagree with your decision, Mr. Acosta.

Senior parking previlage is a long tradition not just at Westwood but at many high schools across the board. Being a senior should come with perks for all the hard work students put in.

(Austin, 2017-08-09)

#190

I'm signing this because me and the rest of the class or 2018 have been upset that we couldn't have the parking we wanted the past two years. As sophomores, we couldn't park as all and as juniors, many of our class was forced to either the tennis lot or to the street. I hope that you understand our problem and try to help us out.
