Locker Policy

The locker is the property of the Durham District School Board, and is not the property of the student. Lockers must only be used to store school related materials and authorized personal items. Students are responsible for the contents of their lockers. 

• Lockers are to be treated with respect, and the inside of the locker must be kept free of inappropriate graffiti, postings or pictures.
• Illegal or unsafe items stored in lockers may lead to school consequences based on Bias-Aware Progressive Discipline.
• All student issued lockers must have a combination lock only.   The combination for this lock must be given to the home room teacher. 

        In addition, following Procedure: Police/School Board Protocol, the police may be contacted. Administration have the authority, with reasonable suspicion, to search personal property and lockers. The right to search helps school administration provide a safe and secure learning environment. Principals have the right to seize contraband material. Illegal contraband will be held by an Administrator for evidence in disciplinary proceedings, and may be turned over to a police officer. The parent/guardian of a minor student or the student, if the student is 18 years of age or older, shall be notified by the school administration if illegal or unsafe items are removed from his or her locker.

Failure to comply with any of this policy will result in the student losing the privilege of having a locker.
