Parking space assignments will be released on FRIDAY, AUGUST 4TH AT 3PM.
- In order to see your assignment, your account must be up to date: Log into the account you originally used to purchase your parking spot.
NOTE: You may need to reset your password in order to gain access. Do NOT create a new account. - Select Verify Approval
NOTE: If the Verify Approval button did not take you to the Step 2 - Student Information page, you are not logged into your account. - In the Active Students section, look for Approved for both your design and PISD parking permit receipt. If both are approved, your account is up to date and you will be able to see your spot assignment in this section after August 4th, at 3 pm.
If you do NOT see the approvals, but believe you have uploaded both your design and PISD parking permit receipt, please email peshparking@gmail.com.
The designated locations and the corresponding parking space codes are as follows:
- East Parking Lot (near Tennis Courts): Parking spaces begin with "P"
- Fine Arts Lot: Parking spaces begin with "F"
- North Lot (by Baseball Field): Parking spaces begin with "S"
So, if you are looking for a parking space at each location, you should look for spaces with the corresponding starting letters.
Don't paint unless you are certain it is your spot. Ask a volunteer in the lot or email peshparking@gmail.com. Read the stenciled number that start with an F (Fine Arts lot), P (East lot) or S (North lot).
The parking spots in each lot may be inconsistently numbered. For instance, spots F20 and F22 may be adjacent to each other. If you requested to be by a friend, do not assume the spots are not next to each other until you have physically verified the locations.
About This Senior Tradition
PTSA 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. The cost per space is $115, which includes your PTSA Student Membership. By becoming a PTSA Student member, you automatically become eligible for scholarships that PTSA awards in May.
Please note that 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 three designated locations for these spaces are:
- East Parking Lot (near Tennis Courts)
- Fine Arts Lot
- North Lot (by Baseball Field)

- 1. Don't paint unless you are certain it is your spot. Ask a volunteer in the lot or email peshparking@gmail.com. Read the stenciled number that start with an F (Fine Arts lot), P (East lot) or S (North lot).
- 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.
- You must paint something on your spot. Otherwise there’s no way to designate it as a reserved parking spot.
- Be courteous to your neighbors and to school property - don't get your paint and supplies outside of your area.
- 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.
- 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.
- Painting is allowed on painting days only.
- Clean up anytime you are not painting. Supplies and trash are not to be left in the parking lot.
- Senior Parking Spots are NON-REFUNDABLE, as this is a PTSA scholarship fundraiser.
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 tool:
- ๐งน Broom
- ๐๏ธ Paint scraper/brush
- ๐จ Primer coat
- ๐๏ธ Roller
- ๐๏ธ Long pole to attach roller to
- ๐จ 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!

Parent Volunteers Needed
The school requires the PTSA to have parent volunteers in the lots for supervision. We intentionally try to paint during cooler times of the day. We appreciate any volunteer support we can get.
Volunteer tasks are simple. You just need to make sure they are painting the correct spot and remind them to clean up after themselves when they are done. We make it easy by providing you a spreadsheet and map so that you can help direct the students to the right location.
Volunteers must have an approved 2023-2024 background check through the Plano ISD volunteer management system completed. Learn how.
For more information, contact our VP of Volunteers.
