There are plenty of lockers on campus to meet the needs of our student body.  If a student is looking for something to help keep their belongings organized, a laptop sleeve is recommended. These are an easy way to carry a school-issued device, pens/pencils, and a small notebook. It is also very helpful for searches because they can easily unzip the laptop sleeve to assist with searches. These are different from laptop bags which are bulky and hinder the search process.

Below are images showing the difference between the two.

 

A small clutch is also permitted to carry personal items. 

 

Below are the dimensions we will be following to define a clutch. 

You may carry a clear book bag or clear drawstring bag.  No mesh bags will be permitted.

 

No purses or tote bags may be used.

 

 

Students may still bring a bagged lunch or lunch box with them to school. If a student rides the bus or is dropped off in the morning and has an athletic bag for after-school activities, they are to place those bags in the designated bins when entering school and bags will be locked in a secure area for the school day.
