Lockers and Locks

Students are given the option of using a Socrates Prep locker, but are not required to do so. All lockers assigned to students remain the property of Socrates Preparatory School. They are not private property, and at no time does the school relinquish its exclusive control of its lockers.

Students can only store their own belongings in their assigned locker, and students may not trade lockers with each other at any time. A student cannot place his/her belongings in a locker which is not assigned to him/her. Any student who is found using a locker other than the one assigned to him/her, or who allows his/her locker to be used to store another student’s belongings, is subject to having the locker immediately taken away.

Lockers are to be used to store only school supplies and personal items necessary for use at school. Lockers shall not be used to store items which cause an interference with school purposes or that violate school rules. No food products are allowed in any locker overnight to avoid rodent and insect infestation. Lockers are not burglar proof and students should not leave valuables such as money or expensive personal property in the lockers.

Students must keep their possessions only in their assigned lockers and are responsible for any assigned school property in their lockers. Posters, stickers, mirrors, hooks or any other types of permanent decorations are not allowed inside or outside of the locker. Removable magnets, decorations and shelves will be allowed.

Students are responsible to keep their lockers clean and organized.

Socrates Preparatory School reserves the right to proceed with necessary steps should a locker search be deemed necessary with probable cause.

Combination style locks owned by Socrates Preparatory School will be assigned with each locker. The school office will maintain a master list of combinations, and Socrates Preparatory School shall retain access to all student lockers. Students wishing to use their own lock may do so once they have provided the school the combination and/or the key to the lock. Students are solely responsible for the contents of their lockers and should not give out the combination of their assigned lock to other students.

The Socrates Preparatory School Principal or his/her designee shall have custody of all combinations to all lockers or locks. It is each student’s responsibility to ensure the lock is secured appropriately after closing the locker and to report to the school office any incident in which locks and/or lockers have been tampered with.
