STUDENT ACCIDENT INSURANCE
Protecting the health and welfare of students is a concern that all school districts and school administrators face each day.
Student Accident Insurance helps ease those concerns by providing benefits for injuries that occur during school hours and
or school sponsored and supervised activities (i.e. athletics, gym class, playground, field trips, JROTC, etc.) Student accident
insurance serves to reduce or completely eliminate any out of pocket expenses not paid by primary coverage including
copays, deductibles, coinsurance, etc. and will pay on a primary basis in the absence of other collectible coverage. With the
increasing trend of high deductible plans, and more of the cost share shifted to the insured, Student Accident Coverage has
become more important than ever!
Enrollment for Voluntary Student Accident Insurance may be completed online at www.BollingerSchools.com or the parent
may download an application and mail it directly to Bollinger.

STUDENT PARKING
Students please make sure you have a 2020 -2021 parking decal hanging on the mirror in your vehicle. Tickets will be given out if they
are not visible. Registered student drivers without a valid parking permit will be issued a temporary one for the day at a cost of $2.00
and issued a ticket. All fees MUST BE paid, or you will not be allowed to purchase a parking pass or participate in any extracurricular
activities. This also includes any technology (venue) repair fines that you may owe. Students should not come to the front office or Ms.
Hemingway’s office during class to get a parking permit; they must get them during lunch.
Students are NOT to park in the front or rear staff parking lots. Student parking is located between the athletic fields and athletic wing
entrance. Violators will be ticketed.
Students that have not purchased a parking permit will continue to accumulate parking tickets (fines) as the year progresses. If this
action continues to take place, your driving privileges can be revoked.
Students who drive to school should lock and leave their cars promptly once they arrive on campus. No loitering is allowed in the
parking areas. Passes will not be written to go back to vehicles to get belongings that were left in a car. At 8:05 a.m., the student
parking lot gate will be locked. Late arrivals and HGTC students will be allowed to enter campus via the security guard only. Students
will not be allowed to return to their cars after 8:05 am without a pass from an administrator.
Students with early release will be cleared to leave by the security guard and must be off campus by 1:50 pm.
Student-athletes coming from ATA, AAST, Scholars Academy, Early College, or middle schools must present their Conway High School
issued athletic ID/pass and can enter into the student parking lot after 3:10 pm.
Parents are not permitted to use the student parking lot for pickup or drop-off. They must use the parent pickup/drop-off lane in the
front of the building. Also, if students are returning to school to pick up another student, they will not be allowed to enter the campus
via the student parking lot. They must also use the parent pickup/drop-off lane in the front of the building. This will be strictly
enforced.
Lastly, students that are not participating in a school-sponsored activity, such as athletics or clubs, must be off campus by 3:45 pm.
15OFF CAMPUS PARKING
Please be advised that the parking lot across from the entrance to Conway
High School is for business use only. All loitering is prohibited. Furthermore,
the parking lot is only to be used by patrons of these businesses. Some
students and parents have used this area to park and pick up students. This is prohibited. The parking lot is under the
jurisdiction of the Conway Police Department. Enforcement of these rules will increase on Monday and violators can expect
to be fined or have their vehicle impounded. Students who drive to Conway High must use the student parking area and
display a current parking decal. These parking permits are available in the front office. Parents must use the pickup and
drop off loop in the front of the building to pick up students in the afternoon. Thank you for your cooperation and
understanding.
