Updates for Juniors
Prom Chaperones Needed
Chaparral Parents,
Prom is known to be the most prominent school event of the year for our upperclassmen, and it is coming up very quickly. This year, Chaparral’s Prom is being hosted at Monterra at Westworld on April 26th from 8 to 11 PM; however, we need chaperones to make this night successful! If you are at all interested in lending a hand, whether your child is attending Prom or not, the help would be greatly appreciated. We need all the help we can get, so the more the merrier! Remember, this night comes once a year and is remembered by the junior and senior class for years to come. Prom night is only a few weeks away, so don’t miss your chance to help make Chaparral students’ night even better. If you have any questions about or interest in helping out on Prom night, please contact Mrs. Maccoll at 480.484.6500 ext. 5214 or jmaccoll@susd.org.

Campus Parking
Parents,
As you probably know, our parking lot situation at Chaparral has been one of the biggest challenges this year since we’ve been under construction. We had to reduce the number of available parking places for students to make way for new buildings, so we only had about 300 student spaces available. We created a partnership with the church north of campus to help with the overflow, but parking has remained a problem.
Recently, the situation has been exacerbated by students parking in the student and staff lots on campus without a permit. The offending students are sophomores, juniors, and seniors. This is inconvenient for and unfair to those seniors who paid money for parking spaces. Students who do not display a 2007-2008 parking sticker are not allowed to park on campus during school hours.
In order to combat this growing problem, we will be changing our security and enforcement measures in our parking lot. First, sophomores and juniors who are caught parking on campus will forfeit their right to future parking permits. Additional school discipline may also result as per the Student Code of Conduct. Additionally, illegally parked cars will have a parking violation sticker affixed to the driver’s side window. These stickers are inconvenient and difficult to remove. Finally, we will tighten security at the gate as students arrive.
We ask for your assistance in encouraging your students not to park on campus if they do not have a permit. Parking will continue to be tight until construction is completed. We must work together to meet our parking needs.
Sincerely,
Kyle Ross
Assistant Principal
