Parking Permits:
Parking permits are required to park on campus. You must have a current 2023-2024 parking permit. Your permit needs to be facing outwards so we can see the current permit hanging from your rearview mirror. Old permits and backwards facing permits will not work and could result in getting a parking sticker on your car. Student parking permits can be purchased from the following link: https://www.bixbyps.org/o/bixb...

Students will need to do the following to purchase a parking permit:
1) Please pay the $15 for the athletic drug test on My School Bucks.
2) Please pay the $20 for the parking permit on My School Bucks.
3) Fill out the Google form on the BHS website.
Once all 3 steps are completed, you can pick up your permit from Mrs. Simic in the Assistant Principal's Office, which is located next to the Attendance Office in the East hallway.

Also a reminder the Bixby High School is a closed campus for all 3 lunches and students are expected to eat in the cafeteria area. Further, students are expected to remain in those areas for the duration of the lunch period. Students SHOULD NOT BE IN THE PARKING LOT OR OTHER AREAS OF THE SCHOOL DURING THEIR ASSIGNED LUNCH PERIODS WITHOUT PERMISSION FROM THE OFFICE. Any student who arrives at school during their lunch period should proceed directly to the cafeteria areas.

Fun Random Fact:
The chicken and the ostrich are the closest living relatives of the T-Rex. In 2003 scientists used collagen in ancient dinosaur remains to figure this out. They had suspected the dino-ness of birds for a long time, and finally here was actual evidence. Before the discovery, many experts believed that dinosaurs were giant reptiles, but it turns out they were basically massive chickens. A thought that makes Jurassic Park a little less scary.... or many even more scary?
