Graduation Parking is VERY limited on campus, so plan accordingly - we encourage families to walk, bike, carpool or take an Uber, Lyft or Palo Alto Link.
  • Parking for families with disabled or elderly members will be on the Miranda Street side of the school beginning approximately at 3:30pm, where there will be a shuttle to the field for those who need additional assistance
  • Families can continue to drop off family members who need shuttle assistance to the field once the lot is full.
  • Additional parking has been available at Fletcher Middle School in previous years - check with the Main Office in May for current information.
