Purnell Swett High School

Parents,This is a message to inform you there will no parking in the rear of the building for softball, baseball and soccer games. At Friday’s night game, I observed people walking in and out of moving vehicles creating an unsafe environment. Also, the lack of care for school grounds was amazing. Vehicles were parked all over the yard and in between the building creating holes damaging the yard that we will have to repair and make presentable again. This is unacceptable. Booster club members with proper ID will be allowed to park in rear parking lot but not on the yard. Everyone else will need to park in the front teacher and/or student parking lot and walk to the playing fields.
