Students may carry a small bag that contains their pencils, pens, calculators, and other small items to class. Any accessory item large enough to carry or conceal a standard textbook, notebook, or binder is not allowed to be carried in the school from the start of school until the end of the school day. Backpacks, purses, gym bags, and athletic bags fitting the above description are to be placed in the student’s locker throughout the school day. Students who are in possession of a backpack, gym bag, or other large carrying device during the school day without permission from the administration or the school nurse will be asked to return these items to their locker.
A student locker is provided by the school for the convenience of the student to be used solely and exclusively for the storage of outer garments, footwear, and school-related materials. No student shall use the locker for any other purpose. The lockers (hall, fine arts, and physical education) assigned to a student are not the student’s private property or under his/her exclusive possession and may be opened and inspected by school authorities at any time.
Students should not give the combination to someone else, store valuables or large sums of money, or leave the locker unlocked. Students may not change lockers or share lockers with another student unless pre-approved with the Attendance Office. Students are advised to keep their lockers locked during the day and not leave them open for other students to share or access them, as this practice invites thefts.
