Automobiles and Parking

Every vehicle driven to school must be registered at the Main Office with Ms. Mahoney and must display an orange Capuchino parking tag on the rear view mirror. Motorcycles and mopeds must also be registered and have a Capuchino parking permit clearly visible. 

Students may park in unmarked spaces at the upper, lower, and stadium  parking lots. Students must obey all parking regulations or they may lose parking privileges. Students are subject to a parking violation by the San Bruno Department of Transportation and Parking or Capuchino HS for illegal parking or traffic violations. The speed limit on campus is 10 miles per hour. Parking on campus is a privilege and may be lost by careless driving. Students may access their cars before and after school. Students may not loiter in parking lot areas.

• Student parking permit costs $5.00 and can be purchased through Ms. Mahoney.

Where can students park?

• Any parking space not designated as “STAFF” or “VISITOR” parking.  
• On Millwood Ave, between school main entrance and Barcelona Ave.

Scooters, Bikes and Skateboards

Scooters, bicycles, skateboards and other types of boards are forms of transportation that promote physical health and environmental friendliness. However, for the safety of students and staff on campus, students are not allowed to ride these on campus. Items are subject to confiscation if they are used on campus. Privileges may be taken away if students abuse policy. Bicycles must be chained to the rack provided on campus. Skateboards must be carried throughout the day and must not become a distraction or safety hazard, or it may be confiscated. 

Hall Passes

Students must have a hall pass when they are out of class, including Teacher Aides. During class time, students must obtain their teacher’s permission and hall pass in order to see someone (e.g., counselor, dean, etc.) in the Main Office. Students without a pass will not be seen. Students with a free 1st and 7th period who wish to remain on campus must obtain a “NAS” (Not at School) sticker from Ms. Mahoney in the Main Office and must remain in the library to do academic work. Students without an official hall pass may be subject to consequences. 

Identification Cards

All students must carry a Capuchino ID card at all times on campus and at school-related functions.  Student ID pictures will be taken during orientation.  The ID card is used for library material checkout, AST attendance, school dance ticket purchase, and for identification at school events such as games at Capuchino and on other campuses.  ID cards will also be used to identify students who are enrolled in off-campus programs.  Failure to show a proper ID when requested by any school staff may result in disciplinary action.  The initial ID card is free; however, a replacement card is $5.00. 

Closed Campus

Capuchino is a closed campus; students must remain on campus from the beginning of their first class to the end of their scheduled school day.  Students must obtain a “Permit to Leave” from the Attendance Office to leave early for reasons such as doctor’s appointments, illness, or family emergency.
