    Lockers

    Students are no longer assigned lockers. It is recommended for students to keep in their backpack a smaller quantity of supplies (pencils, pens, paper, etc.) and refill each quarter or as needed from extra supplies at home. Hallway lockers are available on request. If a student would like to request a locker, they may request one in the front office with Assistant Principal Brandon Mellen.

    Benefits of no lockers and things to consider before requesting a locker:

    • Students will have their personal items with them during the day.
    • Passing periods are only four minutes long.
    • Textbooks are not checked out, but are accessed on student laptops.
    • Everything a student needs will be in their backpack, meaning there are fewer misplaced items.
    • Students have more face-to-face time with teachers because they are not leaving class to go check their locker for an item.
    • Less congestion and student discipline in the halls during the passing periods.
    • No locker combinations to memorize.
    • The halls are cleaner and quieter, making it an overall better learning environment.

    General Supplies to Drop Off in Office

    • 4-pack of Kleenex
    • 12-pack of soda
    • Movie candy boxes

    Soda and candy are used for the PAWS store rewards for students and surprise treats for staff. Any flavor or variety! Soda – regular, diet and zero — are all appreciated.
