Lockers

Each student at NPLHS is assigned a hall locker and corresponding combination for use during the school year. Lockers are for the purpose of storing coats, books, etc. and should be locked and closed at all times. Students should not give out their combination to other students, and students should never share lockers.

Students do not have a constitutional entitlement to a private locker. Lockers are the property of the school district and may be searched randomly and periodically by school personnel. Since lockers are property of the school district, please refrain from attaching stickers to the lockers, as the adhesive has been damaging to the lockers’ paint. Also, please refrain from jamming the locking mechanism to prevent the locker from locking. This often results in damage to the lockers, and it is also a security issue for each individual student.

If a locker is broken or the lock does not function properly, the student should report this information to the office so appropriate steps can be taken to repair the locker.

It is suggested that students plan appropriate times to obtain materials from lockers. This can be done before and after school, and it can also be done during the three-minute passing period between classes. Students will not be permitted to leave classes to go to their lockers without special permission and a hall pass.

Gym lockers and appropriate student-provided locks should always be used to secure clothing and other personal property in the locker room.
