Retrieval of Personal Belongings from Lockers/Return of Textbooks

Posted June 5, 2020

Dear Students,

Please find attached an announcement outlining our approach for students to collect personal
belongings from their lockers, if necessary.

It is not mandatory for you to come to the school if you don’t have anything to pick-up from your locker, but you can still return textbooks. There will be carts placed outside of the school during the locker clean-out times.

If you are returning textbooks, please be sure to write your first and last name on a sticky note or piece of paper inside the book, before you place it in the cart.

Stay safe
