Physical Education Locker Room/Lockers Protocol beginning with the 2018-19 School Year
Locker/Locker Room Protocol
1. Cupertino WILL NOT be providing locks for the lockers inside the locker room area (boys or girls side)
2. Students may bring their own locks (Combination or Key)
3. Students will be able to choose a locker during their PE period, students may place their belongings inside the locker and place their own lock on the locker they have chosen. At the end of the period, the student must empty their locker and REMOVE their LOCK from the locker.
4. The goal is to have all lockers available during each PE period, this will allow all PE student the option to choose to have their own locker and hopefully allow them ample space to change their clothes.
5. If student DO NOT REMOVE their LOCKS at the end of each period, they risk having locks CUT OFF.
6. If students have a BIG item that will not fit inside a locker, they may communicate with one of the PE teachers. Typically large items are stored inside a storage room on the boys side and on the girls side items are usually stored inside the girls PE Office.
7. The past few years, we have not had enough lockers for all PE students, students will not have to share lockers, they can choose their own locker each day, they can change lockers each day, but they must remove their locks each day. otherwise we will have issues with the system.
8. Athletes who might use the locker room after school must follow the same protocol as PE students. Athletes must remove their locks at the end of each practice.
