By Greg Kottcamp, Assistant Principal Every year students eagerly attend registration to not only get their school ID, but also to find their new locker and test out the combination. Many students don’t know how they can find their locker number or combination. To find a student’s locker and combination, students should use the Student Portal App and navigate to the “More” tab, and then select “Lockers”. If your locker number and combination don’t appear please let me know. Each year students are assigned new lockers, depending on grade level and how many students are in each grade. This year’s general layout is: 7th grade - East Wing first floor 8th grade - East Wing second floor 9th grade - East Auditorium hallway and West Wing 10th grade - West Wing split between first and second floor 11th grade - West Wing first floor and West Auditorium hallway 12th grade - Senior Hallway across from the gym Once we have the areas designated by grade level, we use Infinite Campus to randomly assign students to lockers. Half of the students are assigned top lockers and half are assigned lower lockers. If medical conditions exist that require a top or bottom locker, please let me know and provide medical documentation before the start of the year when lockers are assigned. It is important to have good locker etiquette to help facilitate students getting to class on time. One way to do this is to get to know the students in the lockers around you. This way you can politely ask for space to get in or out of the locker area. Please be careful when opening and closing lockers. If students have locker issues during the school year, they can stop by the main office to get a “Locker Complaint Form”, which allows students to explain the locker problem. Those forms should be turned in to me or our Campus Supervisors, Mike Dobrowski & Kim Racine. The custodial staff will then work to address the problem. At the end of the school year, students are given time to clean-out their lockers. Lockers are then checked by the custodial staff and serviced during the summer. More often than we would like, the school has to replace locks on lockers because paper-jams have damaged the locks. Students use paper-jams to jam the lock in an unlocked position to save time between class periods. This is a safety concern as anyone can open their unlocked locker and take materials from those lockers. Please encourage your students to not use paper-jams for safety reasons, and to avoid a lock replacement fee. Lockers should be a fun part of the school experience. Students can add shelving and decorations to organize and personalize the inside of their locker. If students are having any difficulties with their locker or have questions about lockers, stop by my office and we can work together to improve your locker experience. Comments are closed.
