Please also note that this year tutorial has moved to the end of the day on Wednesdays! So school always starts at 8:15. Check out the schedule here. http://TSHS.TahomaSD.US/ Parking Permit Information Tahoma Senior High School added 100 new parking spaces and should have plenty of room for junior and senior vehicles. All seniors and juniors desiring a parking pass should be able to be accommodated. Parking passes are sold for $40 per year on a first come, first served basis. No reservations by phone or e-mail will be accepted. We will accept applications in person only, from seniors first. If there are any passes left, we will open sales to Juniors. Sophomores will not be issued a parking pass. The gravel area along 240th Street is free parking, but is also first come, first served. Since it is not fair to the students who have paid for a pass to have students without passes park in the lots, we have adopted the following fine assessments: 1st offense - $15.00 fine 2nd offense - $25.00 fine 3rd offense – car will be towed at owner’s expense. Students are not allowed to park in “Staff Parking,” “Visitor Parking,” “Pool Parking,” or in “Handicap Parking” spaces without the proper tag. The King County Sheriff’s Office will ticket you. Please keep in mind that Tahoma School District does offer free transportation to and from school. Thank you for your understanding. We would love to be able to give all students passes, but we just do not have enough space.
