Students and families are reminded that locker space is not considered the private property of students, but is the property of the school. Lockers are intended for the storage of school related books and clothing (coats). It is the responsibility of the student to assure that the locker is properly secured at all times. The school takes reasonable precautions to assure that locks and latches are in working order; however, the school accepts no responsibility for students’ personal property. Large amounts of money and items of considerable value should be left in the office, and not in lockers.
The school administration reserves the right to conduct locker inspections and to open and inspect any student’s locker or personal property including (but not limited to bookbags, purses, etc.) should reasonable suspicion arise of the possession of unsafe or unlawful material. In the event that such suspicions are founded, the administration may seize the material, parents will be contacted immediately and disciplinary action will be taken against the student. Students may not share lockers or locks, nor are students allowed to switch lockers or locks with each other; further, only school issued locks may be used to secure lockers. Students should keep their lockers locked at all times.
