Poston Locker Assignment Policy

Lockers will be assigned to students who choose to pay the fee for this service when they register at Poston. According to our "Guidelines for Student Behavior," even though a student may secure his or her belongings in an assigned locker, the locker is still considered to be the property of the school district. Mesa Public School officials reserve the right to conduct locker searches whenever reasonable suspicion exists that a law or school rule has been violated, or that the health, safety or welfare of students and / or staff may be in danger.

In order to ensure locker safety and security, the following rules apply throughout the school year. Students who fail to abide by the school locker policies may lose locker privileges.

• Students are not allowed to share their lockers or their combinations with ANYBODY. Logical consequences will follow should we discover locker violations. Many books and belongings are lost every year due to sharing of lockers and / or combinations.
• Students will not be allowed to change lockers, such as from a top locker to a bottom locker. See the Bookstore Manager or the Security Officer if you have an extenuating circumstance that warrants a locker change.
• Students are responsible for keeping their locker and the floor space under the locker free of litter. Students may be charged for damage done to a locker (e.g., stickers and graffiti are not allowed). If you see graffiti on your locker, please report it immediately to Poston campus security. Please give the security officer the name(s) of the individual(s) who you beleive did the graffiti.
• To keep tardiness and possible problems between youngsters to a minimum, we ask students to plan on going to their lockers before school, before and after lunch, and after school only. This simply requires carrying a couple of books to morning classes and a couple of books to afternoon classes.
• Students are not allowed to place their own locks on Poston lockers. If found, these locks will be cut and removed by the school without further notice.
• Students must keep their combinations in a very safe place. Do not write your combination in a conspicous place, such as the cover of a binder. Make sure that others do not learn your locker combination as you open it. Ensure that your belongings are properly secured by checking your locker door before leaving the area.
• Leave costly personal items at home.
• Students should memorize their locker combinations as soon as possible and keep a copy of it at home for reference.
• Each year, students lose valuables from their lockers because they did not properly close and lock their locker door. Please understand that the school will not assume responsibility for textbooks or other items taken from lockers. For further information on lockers, please consult Poston's Student Handbook.
