Lock and Lockers
All students are assigned hall lockers. Locks for these lockers may be purchased from the Berkshire PTA. If using a
lock that is not issued from Berkshire, the combination must be on file in the office. Do not share your combination
with other students and never leave your lock on its last number. Gym locks are provided to students at no cost. All
items left in the lockers in the locker rooms must be locked at all times. If gym locks are lost, students will pay a fine.
Absolutely forbidden in school lockers (and on school property) are items which may be disruptive to the normal
school process or which pose a danger to health and safety. Tobacco, nicotine, vaping products, smoking
paraphernalia, alcohol, fireworks, weapons and stolen property are some examples. School officials have the legal
responsibility and right to search lockers under circumstances that justify such action. Grade levels have periodic
locker clean outs and locker sharing is not allowed. Students are not allowed to change lockers or put materials into
unassigned lockers without permission. Decorating lockers without administrative approval is prohibited.
