Morning Routine Before homeroom: • When coming from morning program, stop at fountain for drinks before coming down to homeroom. Bathrooms do not open until 1st Period. • Go to locker. Leave hats, coats and backpacks inside. Get supplies you need for Per. 1-4. Make sure you have everything you need before entering homeroom. Locker time is not SOCIAL TIME. Once you are finished at your locker, report immediately to homeroom. • Once in homeroom, you will not be permitted to go back out for locker, drinks, etc. • Be in homeroom by 8:25. After the bell rings, you will be marked late. Four lates to homeroom are reported to the office on a green slip.
Set Up Your Locker Setting up your locker will help keep you organized! • Leave coats and other outerwear in your locker. • If possible, get locker shelves to better fit your belongings. • Label the sides of all binders so they’re easily accessible. • Keep extra pencils, pens, and other school supplies in your locker. • Keep a copy of your school schedule in your locker. • Don’t keep unopened or outdated food in your locker. • Be sure to clean your locker periodically to stay organized. Remember: Lockers are school property, so anything that is not permitted in our school, is not permitted in your locker!
