About This PESH Senior Tradition

  • Noah, Class of 2023PTSA is offering a limited number of Senior Reserved Parking Spaces, exclusively available for online purchase. These spaces are reserved Monday through Friday from 7:30 am to 5 pm.
  • Because of scheduled school renovations for the upcoming academic year, there are fewer spots available for sale by the PTSA this year. Act promptly to reserve your senior parking spot!
  • These parking spaces must be painted in order to remain reserved. Failure to paint your spot will make it available for anyone to park there. Only seniors are eligible to purchase a reserved parking space. 
  • The two designated locations for these spaces are:
  • Fine Arts Lot
  • North Lot (by Baseball Field)

Cost

  • The cost per space is $130, which includes your PTSA Student Membership. By becoming a PTSA Student member, you automatically become eligible for scholarships that PTSA awards in May. You'll still need to get your mandatory PISD Parking Permit sticker around late July that typically costs $75.

  • Want to Park next to one friend?

  • If you wish, you may request to be placed next to ONE friend and PTSA will do our best to accommodate this request. However, spots are assigned based on order of purchase and friends will be placed together based on the timing of the last friend who purchases. So, make sure the friend you want to be next to signs up at the same time as you!

 

Questions

  • Before emailing us, please verify that your design has been approved and your parking permit has been uploaded successfully. You can confirm your approval status here.

  • While we aim to provide answers to the majority of your questions here, if you have any remaining inquiries, please feel free to email at Parking@PlanoEastPTSA.org.  

Rules

  • Failure to comply with any of these rules will result in forfeit of your space without a refund. Prohibited items will be painted over at the discretion of Administration. Disciplinary action may be taken, and you may forfeit your right to a parking space with no refund. At any time during the year, Administration reserves the right to remove the Senior Parking Space Painting if any violation occurs.

  1. Don't paint unless you are certain it is your spot. Ask a volunteer in the lot or email Parking@PlanoEastPTSA.org. Read the stenciled number that start with an F (Fine Arts lot) or N (North lot).

  2. Friday night (or whatever is the first time you are available to paint) you will need to plan to clean (scrape, sweep) and prime your spot. We recommend using paint that includes a primer as your base coat (this saves steps and cost). When you paint over the old design it can also serve as your first/background color.

  3. You must paint something on your spot. Otherwise there’s no way to designate it as a reserved parking spot.

  4. Be courteous to your neighbors and to school property - don't get your paint and supplies outside of your area.

  5. Do NOT paint over the stenciled numbers at the bottom of your spot! The contract specifies that you are to leave a 4-inch border around your design and not paint all the way to the lines.

  6. Parking designs must comply with all PISD Code of Conduct and all local laws including, but not limited to:

    • No reflective paint, spray paint, or fluorescent paint

    • No gang-style tagging

    • No offensive language, pictures, or symbols

    • No negative or rude language (Be nice; Show your Panther Pride)

    • No images or references to drugs or drug paraphernalia

    • No images or references to weapons

    • No slander, slang, racism, or sexual connotations

    • Web link names are not allowed.

    • Use only my name or approved nick name. A boyfriend/girlfriend’s name is not allowed.

    • You MUST paint the spot you purchased and are assigned and follow these guidelines.

    • Parking spot will need to be primed with a product suitable for concrete before painting.

    • Parking spot may need to cleaned prior to painting. This may include scraping, sweeping, etc.

    • WATER-BASED EXTERIOR LATEX paint is the ONLY type of paint that can be used.

    • If you choose, a clear sealant may be applied after you complete your design. (not required)

    • All paint, supplies, and clean-up are the responsibility of the student.

    • You must take all of your paint supplies with you anytime you leave the lot. You could be held responsible if you leave a can of paint that gets splattered on someone's car.

    • You are responsible for following these rules and the consequences for infractions.

    • NO BRICKS, ROCKS, OR STONES will be allowed to block off your space. The ONLY thing you can put around your design to try to block it off during the painting weekends are small flexible plastic cones. 

  7. Painting is allowed on painting days only.

  8. Clean up anytime you are not painting. Supplies and trash are not to be left in the parking lot.

  9. Senior Parking Spots are NON-REFUNDABLE, as this is a PTSA scholarship fundraiser.

  10. Any refusal to follow instructions given by a PTSA volunteer or other inappropriate behavior, by a student or another family member, may result in the forfeit of my parking spot without a refund.  Parking spot forfeitures will be jointly determined by the Plano East Senior High Administration and the PTSA.

Painting Tips

  • You can only use WATER-BASED EXTERIOR LATEX paint. 
  • Your background color will also serve as the primer and will paint over the previous year’s design.
  • We recommend you purchasing paint and supplies before the painting weekends as supplies can run low at our local stores.
  • You may want to prime and seal the spot if you want the design to last throughout the year.
  • Some people have had success using paint like Valspar Season Flex Paint + Primer Exterior. 
  • Suggested tools:
    • 🧹 Broom
    • 🖌️ Paint scraper/brush
    • 🎨 Primer coat
    • 🖌️ Roller
    • 🖌️ Long pole to attach roller to
    • 🎨 Painter's tape
  • On the first Friday night, focus on cleaning and prepping the spot. If possible, lay down a base coat that can dry overnight, getting you all set to paint your design on Saturday morning.
  • Remember to stay protected from the sun, so bring sunscreen and stay hydrated with water! Some folks even bring pop-up canopies for extra shade.
  • Lastly, don't wait until the last minute to buy paint. Head to Lowe's now and get everything you need well in advance. Their paint department knows their stuff! 
  • Stay hydrated!
