Students who have already paid for lockers will receive them on Monday during homeroom.
Lockers are still open for rental. This can be paid online via the link below or with cash at the events. We will continually rent lockers during the school year as long as we have not used them all.
If you desire to pay cash for a locker, come to the main office.
