Students, starting Monday, Aug. 31 if you are wanting to use a locker this year, you will need to bring a lock. Lockers will be issued during your 1st period class. If you are brining a combination lock, you will need to practice your combination ahead of time. Students will need to provide this combination to your 1st period teacher.
As per the student code of conduct (pg. 4) students are responsible for all items placed into lockers issued to them. Personal locks are subject to being removed (cut off) at the student’s expense if they need occurs. Searches of lockers may be conducted at any time, whether or not the student is present. Please be mindful that your lockers are small and large backpacks or backpacks will wheels will not fit easily into them.
