All seniors can pick up a locker strip at dismissal on Friday, March 27, or any time the week of March 31st in the Senior Office (Commons) or in c211 before or after school.

The weekend before Senior Week, parents/friends/ guardians/seniors themselves can come to the school and hang up their locker strip. Lockers will be assigned upon arrival on the decorating days with a COMPLETED locker strip.

If your child did not get a locker strip because they did not think they had a locker, it is OK. New this year, you do not have to pay for a locker to get a locker strip. Every senior can decorate a strip and put it on an assigned locker.

Decorating Tips:

• Think about weight (heavy strips will need extra tape to secure them)

• Ideas include - through the years and future, friends, family, or just your child

• EACH ONE IS UNIQUE! Make it however you want!

• Pinterest can be your friend

• Lamination helps preserve it

Hanging/Decorating Days:

• Friday, April 24th from 3-7pm

• Saturday, April 25th from 10am-12pm

• Sunday, April 6th from 1pm-3pm

Enter through Atrium doors

What to bring:

• 3M hanging tabs or magnet strips, magnetic hooks to hang locker strip on locker (please no double sided foam tape or Duct tape as this ruins the lockers)

• Candies/treats (optional) - the combination to the locker will also be given, so you are able to leave items inside if you would like (just tell your senior!)

• Be sure your strip has already been created before you come to the school

Locker Strips are optional!

It’s a fun way to decorate for senior week and the students get excited to see their pictures, messages for them! Many parents do this as a surprise, others create one with their student and some students even make their own! It is totally optional but can be fun.

If you have questions, feel free to reach out! (elaine.vernon@gcpsk12.org)
