The administration reversed their decision and juniors have their parking back. It was a long fight to get here but we finally have some sanity. Keep an eye on those lots to make sure they stick to this.

Reaching this level of support has been a long road and my energy is running thin. Seeing this much momentum keeps me going because it shows I am not the only one fighting for what should be obvious.

It is frustrating to not have the opportunity to be able to park in the school especially when not only myself and other students have sports and jobs. Myself and other students involved in after school activities should have the priveldge to have a spot. In addition, Watchung Hills is a public school meaning everyone should have a spot in all fairness. A suggestion I have for additional parking is to use the no longer used field hockey field at the bottom of the hill for a parking lot. That way, students would be happier.

Juniors shouldn't have to raffle for a right to be able to drive to school everyday once getting a license. Having a license is privilege. It helps out SO many parents with getting their kids to school on time while managing their work life and parent life. We demand our rights to park!!

If the juniors are making equal contributions to their activities just like the seniors at WH, then by all means, it's obvious and makes perfect sense to formulate an even distribution of parking spots for both seniors AND juniors.

I think that as an athlete at this school it is unfair that my parents still have to rush after work to come get me from practice when I am legally able to drive myself back home.

It's ridiculous how there will be reserved spots for people that can't even drive for months to come.

As you all know there is no reasonable explanation as to why junior parking for the first time ever is being limited to 45 spots. We need to come together as a group to make sure that everyone who wants/needs to drive to school can, as in all past years.

I'm only a sophomore but my sister had those privileges and they seem so unfair now
