Lockers

The following is the Locker Policy in the Academy:

1. For reasons of security and access, the padlocks for the lockers will be provided to the students by the school. They are made by "MASTER LOCK" and are combination locks, which can also be opened through a master key that the school will hold. Students are not allowed to use their own padlocks.

2. Students will be held financially responsible for misuse and damage to the locker and padlock. The lockers will be pre-numbered. Each student will pay a deposit in the amount of 20 Euros to the cashier and with the receipt in hand will then proceed to the Academy Main Office and request a locker. Upon returning the padlock in good order and completing a "no damage “locker inspection, the full deposit amount will be refunded to the student. Students are responsible to clean out their locker at the end of the academic year. Any personal items found after the deadline will be donated. Students have the responsibility to report immediately to the Academy Main Office for any damage to their locker.

3. Under no circumstances should students change lockers amongst themselves without notifying the Academy Main Office. The Principal's Office maintains the right to open lockers that violate the above policy. The school maintains the right to open any lockers if concerns arise.

Lost and Found

The Vice Principal maintains a lost and found service. Students are requested to bring stray articles of all types to the office so that they may be returned to their rightful owners. All articles unclaimed after a reasonable length of time, generally one month, may be discarded and donated to local charities.

Textbooks

Textbooks may be issued at the start of the course and collected again at the conclusion of the course. All ACS Athens books are bar-coded and, when distributed, are ‘assigned’ to a particular student.

At the conclusion of the course, each student must return the book with the bar code that was assigned to him. Credit is issued only if the book matches the one that was issued. Full replacement cost will be required for lost, marked or damaged books.

Students who withdraw from school must return all textbooks before they can clear their records. Students will not receive end-of-year report cards, transcripts, or diplomas until all textbook obligations are cleared. Fines for lost or damaged textbooks are levied and collected by Academy personnel. If a book is lost, the student pays the current cost of replacing the book. If books are not returned and financial obligations are not met, appropriate action will be taken.

In the case of Honors or IB courses, students may be asked to purchase their paperbacks in the summer in order to enhance their preparation for the course or IB Exams. Students may, of course, keep books purchased.
