Valuable Property
If property is lost/stolen, it should be reported to the Attendance Office immediately.
Textbooks, articles of clothing and personal possessions should all be clearly marked with your name.
Mt. Vernon Township High School provides hall lockers for students to store their personal property.
Lockers are also provided in gymnasium dressing rooms to give pupils a place to put their street clothes when dressed for Physical Education classes. Lockers should be kept locked when not in use. It is each student's responsibility to keep the locker neat and clean.
The school provides adequate facilities for students to store their belongings, but the school cannot take the responsibility for these belongings. Each student must be responsible for personal property and should therefore keep the locker locked and not circulate a lock combination to other students.
When personal property is lost, it is usually through carelessness. If property is lost, it should be reported to the Attendance Office immediately. Students are highly encouraged not to carry large amounts of money at school.
If this does become necessary, the best practice is to bring a check for the proper amount.
