Textbooks

At the secondary level, textbooks are borrowed on a semester basis. At the conclusion of the respective semester, all textbooks must be returned to the Classroom Teacher. Unreturned textbooks are considered “overdue.” Lost books must be replaced at full cost, as determined by Classroom Teacher.

Lockers (Secondary)

Lockers are assigned at the beginning of the year. Students must be in the lockers they are assigned. Lockers numbers can be found on student timetables. Any students found in lockers unassigned to them will be asked to return to their assigned locker. Students must use combination locks purchased from the school. If you are not able to use the school provided lock and you use your own lock, you must give the combination to the Main Office. If it is a key lock, you must provide the extra key to the Main Office.

Lockers are school property and should be kept clean and in good condition. School Administration has the right to access all lockers and withdraw locker privileges if necessary. Items such as alcohol, drugs, weapons, or substances which threaten health or safety, are prohibited on school property including lockers. If there is suspicion that a locker contains any of these items, it will be opened and searched. Appropriate consequences will apply if a prohibited substance or weapon is found. The school is not responsible for lost or stolen goods. Do not store valuable items or money in lockers.

Students maintain possession of their assigned lockers for the entire school year. During the June exams, it is the responsibility of the student to clean the locker of all contents, leave the school locks on the lockers. At the conclusion of the June exams, all lockers are cleaned by staff.  Unclaimed items will be donated to charity.
