High School Car Riders

  • No car rider number or car tag is required.
  • Please see arrival/dismissal map below for instructions on how to pick up your student.

Student Drivers

Student parking passes can be purchased and the permission slips completed on Roar into School Business Day on August 1st or Walk Your Schedule Night on August 6th. The cost for a student parking pass is $50, and this must be paid in person with EXACT cash or check. Once school starts, students and parents may purchase these during regular school hours. The cost of student parking passes is not prorated, so they will be the same cost no matter when they are purchased.  

You will need to bring the following information when you complete your permission slip. 

  • Address
  • Phone Number
  • Driver’s License
  • Make, Model, and Color of Vehicle
  • License Plate Number
  • The parent should sign the permission slip in person with the student.

Bus Riders

*Please note that bus arrival and departure times may vary especially during the start of the school year as routes are being balanced.

Tips to Find Your Bus Number

  • If a 9th, 10th, or 11th grader attends Lakeland Prep and has been assigned a stop, e-link will show that they attend Lakeland Prep. The stop information shown in the below example is what you should see.
This is an image that shows how to make sure you are receiving a proper bus route. Be sure it says that you attend Lakeland Prep.

 

Make sure your student is not showing "attends Arlington HS." This is not what it should say.

  3. Create a secure Username and Password for the application.
  4. Click on (+) and enter student name, Skyward ID (add 797 before the ID to identify Lakeland Schools like this: 797###.). Select Shelby Municipals and State. Click done and save.
