SMS Locks and Lockers
All students have been issued an assigned a locker and have been required to purchase a school lock paid for by student fees at the start of the school year. School locks must be on the locker at all times for safety and security purposes. We are asking for your continued support to remind your students to lock their lockers with their school issued lock for safety and security.
Students who do not have a lock will be provided a new lock by the school and their student fee accounts will be charged $5.79. Thank you for helping us communicate this to your student and for your continued support.
