A $25 parking permit is required along with a signed parking expectations agreement. See Mr. Wood to sign parking forms the day of painting, payment will occur upon return to campus.
Guidelines:
• There are 5 separate opportunities to paint your parking space this summer.
• A Sign-Up Genius will be sent for you to register for one of these 5 slots.
• You must register for BOTH a Prep and a Paint slot.
• 22 students per slot. You are allowed a maximum of 2 helpers.
• If one of these dates does not fit with your schedule, or your level of comfort, we will arrange for a later date. This event is voluntary.
• We ask your support in keeping with CDC and DCHHS recommendations to:
* wear a mask
* bring your own water and hand sanitizer
* social distance and stay at least 6 ft. away from others (2 arm-lengths)
* do not gather in groups o be aware of respiratory etiquette
• TRASH BAGS, TRASH BAGS and MORE TRASH BAGS. You must take all your trash home with you!
• Bring all your own supplies: buckets, paint, paint trays, long-handled rollers, brushes, tape, sponges, chalk, etc.
• If you are using sponge brushes, bring a lot! They will tear easily on the concrete.
• YOU CANNOT SHARE SUPPLIES. Bring an extra bucket to stash/carry supplies.
Buying Paint:
• Use Latex Exterior primer to cover last year’s art work. Expect to use a gallon.
• All paint for designs must be Latex-Based paint. No spray paint or oil-based paint.
• SHERWIN WILLIAMS at Mockingbird and Abrams will give all Woodrow students a 40% discount on your paint purchases. Just tell them you are with Woodrow Wilson High School when you buy your paint.
• HOME DEPOT also has competitively priced options. Do your pricing research! Parking spaces are slightly different in size. The average is 9’ feet across x 18’ feet long.
Reminders:
• There will be a map of the spaces and purchasers on site.
• Your spot comes AS IS. There could be potholes, old paint that won’t come off, or it may be uneven. Sorry but we can’t repair any spots.
• Plan on scraping off old paint. Metal scrapers work best.
• You MUST cover the yellow stripes that outline the spaces with tape.
• It takes several hours to dry. Do not wait until your Paint Day.
• Bring a Broom - You don't want to paint on dirt.
• Use Latex Exterior primer, and make sure it's 100% dry before moving to painting.
• Bring Chalk to sketch out your design.
• If you are changing colors and need to clean your brushes, bring water and a bucket. There is no water source.
• Your paint needs to dry completely before adding a new color on top or they will mix.
• Having some helpers available is a good idea! You are allowed a maximum of 2.
• You may want to bring a pop-up tent or umbrella, and plenty of sunscreen.
• Bring a cooler with ice and water ~ it will be HOT!
• Bring Trash Bags - You must take all your trash home with you!
