Student Parking & Permits

Students who are at least 14 ½ years old may be eligible for a Special Minor Restricted License and can request permission to park on school grounds.

Student Driving Permits

To apply for a Special Minor Restricted License, you must:

Be at least 14 ½ years old.
Complete an Iowa-approved driver education course (example: StreetSmarts).
Hold an instruction permit and a clean driving record for at least six consecutive months immediately before applying for your Special Minor Restricted License.

How & Where to get the required affidavit for a Special Minor Restricted License:

Affidavits signed by your school associate superintendent can be picked up at the Waukee CSD District Office (560 SE University Ave., Waukee, IA 50263).
- Please note: You do not need to bring a copy since the office has them available.
Make sure your address is current in PowerSchool.
Bring your instruction permit. (Or, a screenshot of your instruction permit.)
- Please note: Per Iowa DOT regulations, District staff cannot provide a signed affidavit until six months have passed from the issue date of the student’s instruction permit.
Along with providing your completed affidavit and proof of completion of an Iowa-approved driver education course, you may be required to complete a driving test at the driver’s license issuance site.
According to the Iowa DOT, a student with a restricted license must carry a signed Parent Consent Form. That form may be requested by law enforcement.

Student Parking

All students must have a Special Minor Restricted License and register their vehicle via the parking application for their school (see below). Approval of a school permit does not guarantee a parking spot on school grounds. There is a $25 fee for unauthorized student parking. Please remember that students are permitted to park on school premises as a matter of privilege, not as a right.

The District reserves the right to tow a parked vehicle when it is improperly or illegally parked, poses a traffic hazard, or obstructs the normal movement of traffic, without prior notification at the subject’s expense.

Parking policies:

Signage in the lots must be followed. Students should park between two white lines.
Places where students cannot park (restricted areas):
- - Visitor parking
  - Handicapped parking (unless they possess a valid state permit)
  - Staff parking
  - Fire lanes
  - Self-created parking spots
Students parked in restricted areas or whose vehicle does not contain a valid parking tag may be subject to a parking ticket or lose their ability to park on school grounds.
Cars that display offensive stickers, flags, or other devices expressing opinions offensive or objectionable may be asked to remove the offensive artifacts or to be parked off school grounds.
