LOCKERS

Lockers are the property of WHS and are assigned to each student. There is no locker rental fee and students must provide their own lock. Students will need a separate lock for their Physical Education locker. Locker assignments will be available to all students in the commons during the first week of school. Students should understand that lockers offer minimal security and items of unusual value should not be brought to school. Students are only to use their assigned locker. Periodic locker clean outs will be conducted.

Students, their personal property, and the school property assigned to them shall not be subjected to unlawful search and seizure.

  1. Every principal, assistant principal, authorized security officer of a public school, and/or designated staff may conduct a reasonable search of a student on the school premises if he has a reasonable cause to do so. The search must be made in the presence of a third party.

  2. Every principal, assistant principal, authorized security officer of a public school, and/or designated staff may conduct a reasonable search of the school and every appurtenance thereof, including students' lockers. The right of the school official to search the locker must be previously announced or published within the school. This statement serves as notification to all students.

  3. Students are responsible for leaving their lockers clear of all personal possessions prior to leaving school on their last day of attendance. Also, on the last day of school, all lockers will be cleaned out and all personal property of students will be held in a designated location for one week and then given to the Salvation Army, Goodwill or other charitable organizations. In unusual circumstances when the school is notified that a student cannot be present on the last day, the school will obtain the student's possessions from the locker and hold them for the parents to pick them up at an agreed- upon time.
