write their own notes and sign for field trips, etc. must first secure written
verification from their parents approving and acknowledging the students'

LOCKERS Lockers may be issued to any student who does not have outstanding
fines. Students may sign up for lockers at
the start of school. Each student is
responsible for maintaining a clean locker at all times.Students who have difficulties with the
locker should check with the main office or a custodian for assistance. Students are not to exchange lockers, once
assigned, without checking with the main office. Students are responsible for any damage,
undue wear, or vandalism to their assigned lockers. Lockers are to be cleaned at the end of the year. Although the school provides hall lockers and
PE lockers, the school is not liable for
the loss of any items from lockers.
Students are encouraged to purchase a high quality lock. Lockers remain the property of the school
district during the time they are loaned to students for the purpose of storing
their belongs while attending school. This does not give students the right to exclude school authorities from
reasonable access to the locker. Should
school authorities have reasonable cause to believe items are concealed in
locker which violate school rules or the law, they may inspect belongs
contained therein.
To reduce the
possibility of theft or loss from your locker: 1. Always see that the
locker is securely closed and locked when you leave it.
2. Do not leave money or valuables (cameras, watches, etc.) in lockers.
A secretary may place items in the school vault during school hours.
3. Do not tell your locker combination to anyone.
4. Promptly report
thefts, damage, or any problems with your locker.
5. Keep valuable
electronic equipment (Walkman players, games, CD players, etc.) at home.
6.
Purchase a quality lock. STUDENT ASSISTANCE PROGRAM The major goal of the Student Assistance Program is to support and enhance student achievement and well being through the areas of prevention, intervention, and support. Because adolescents spend so many of their waking hours at school and school-related functions, the school has a unique opportunity to help provide solutions to students who are showing signs of escalating academic or behavior problems. Student referrals can be done online using the link from the LSHS webpage or using the hard copy referral form in the SAP box at the entrance to the library.
