Student Parking Pass Information 2025-2026
To view this information in PDF format, click here!
For the upcoming school year, OTHS will modify the process for purchasing parking passes. While students may have enjoyed camping out in line for hours the night/morning before parking passes went on sale, that was not a sustainable option. Similar to concert ticket sales, students will now be able to camp out in their living rooms and wait for the online store to go live. This change in process ensures student safety and equitable access for all eligible students. Please read the following information carefully.
To be eligible to purchase a parking pass, you must be a senior or junior student with all fees paid and a valid driver’s license. This includes the school registration fees for the 2025-2026 school year. Please note that the 2025/2026 registration fees will be posted to student accounts on June 25th so fees will need to be paid after this date. Fees can be paid online using Skyward or in-person in the District Office during normal school hours. The District Office is open from M-F 7:30 am – 3:30 pm.
You will have two options to pay for your parking pass:
-
Option 1: pay online using a credit card ($100 plus the credit card service fee) on Omella the day that the link goes live
- Option 2: pre-pay with cash/check ($100) in person in the OTHS District Office at the Smiley Campus. Checks should be made payable to OTHS. The District Office is open from M-F 7:30 am – 3:30 pm. If you pay in person, you will be given an access code that will allow you to purchase a parking pass on Omella the day that the link goes live.
- PLEASE NOTE: There is no advantage to paying with cash/check in advance. You will get an access code that will give you an equal opportunity to purchase tickets on Omella when the link goes live. The link will go live for all eligible students on the dates outlined below.
Whether you pay in cash or pay online, parking pass sales will be 100% online via Omella (the same service that Prom/Homecoming tickets are sold). The link will go live in three phases:
- Phase 1: When: 8:30 am on Tuesday July 29 - Friday August 1 Who: Seniors with fees paid by 3:30 pm Friday 7/25 If your fee is paid after 3:30 pm Friday 7/25, you will have to wait for Phase 2
- Phase 2: When: 8:30 am on Tuesday August 5 - Friday August 8 Who: Juniors and Seniors with fees paid by 3:30 pm Friday 8/1 If your fee is paid after 3:30 pm Friday 8/1, you will have to wait for Phase 3
- Phase 3: When: 8:30 am Tuesday August 12 (first day of school) - until sold out Who: Juniors and Seniors with fees paid
What information will I need to complete the form?
- Student OTHS email address (your fees must be paid for your email to be validated)
- Cash pay access code (only if you paid cash in-person)
- Make, model, and color of your vehicle (i.e. Blue Ford Mustang)
- License plate number
- A photo of your vehicle clearly showing the rear license plate. Make sure the photo is saved on the device you plan to use.
FAQs
What if my email address is not accepted?
Double check to make sure that your fee was paid by the deadline for each phase as outlined above. The only email addresses that will be validated are those that had fees paid prior to the deadline. If you miss the deadline to pay your fee, you will have to wait for the next phase. If you paid your fee before the deadline and are still having issues with your email address, send Mr. Cozad an email: cozadr@oths.us
What spot number did I get?
Numbered parking spaces will be assigned in the same order that transactions are completed on Omella. The earlier you purchase a pass, the lower parking space you will be assigned. You will not know your space number until you come to pick up your physical window tag. Window tags can be picked up in the Attendance Office at the Smiley Campus starting at 8:00 am Wednesday August 6th. The Attendance Office hours are M-F 8:00 am – 3:00 pm. You must bring your student ID in order to receive your parking pass. You must pick up your physical parking pass before parking for the first day of school.
What if the website doesn't work?
OTHS is not responsible for technical difficulties with the website or your personal device. If you encounter an issue with the website, please contact Omella: contact@omella.com
Will Sophomores be able to purchase parking passes?
Sophomores will be eligible to submit their names for consideration for any remaining parking spaces in September. Sophomores may have an additional opportunity to purchase parking passes in January depending on the number of seniors graduating early. Sophomores will receive an email with more information in September.
What if I am a senior graduating early?
Seniors that graduate in December may be eligible for a prorated refund ($45) when they return their parking pass to the attendance office.
(Link above will not work until the Phase 1 date of July 29th, 2025 at 8:30am)
