Please remember that all locks will be collected at the end of the school year and your child is responsible for handing in the same lock they were given in September. If your child lost their lock please make sure they tell us ASAP. We collect lost locks and it is probably in our office or somewhere in the locker room. Any lost locks at the end of the year need to be replaced for a fee of $5.00
