 Lockers at Brooklin HS

Lockers are used by students to store and secure personal belongings, including text books, Chromebooks, learning materials, clothing and other small school-related items. Best practice is to access lockers at the beginning of the day, lunch time and at the end of the day. Students can transport learning materials for two periods at a time, hopefully avoiding the need to access lockers between periods. 

We have over 1,100 lockers in the school, all the same size, 12" wide and 72" high, along 10 different corridors. We have recently added two banks of lockers!

At the end of the school year in late June, before the last final exam, students vacate their lockers so they can be cleaned. Students are not assigned the same locker from school year to school year.

Find below, information from our Student Handbook and Code of Conduct specific to lockers:

Students may be assigned a locker by the school.  It is their responsibility to keep lockers clean and free from writing, damage, and decorations. Repair charges will be levied where students purposefully or carelessly damage lockers. Students are not permitted to move to another locker or to exchange or share lockers without permission from administration. Grade 12 students may share lockers. Lockers must be secured with a Dudley combination lock. The combination must be on record in the office. Failure to meet these requirements may lead to your lock being removed at your expense. During class time, locker visits must be kept to a minimum. The school is not responsible for lost, missing or stolen belongings. The locker is the property of the DDSB. Students are solely responsible for the contents of their lockers. Lockers are emptied at the end of each school year.

Administration has the authority, with reasonable suspicion, to search personal property and lockers. The right to search is established to assist school administration in providing for the safety and welfare of all students and staff as stated in the Education Act. Principals have the right to seize contraband material.  The contraband material will be removed from the locker and held for evidence in disciplinary proceedings and may be turned over to law enforcement officials.

For further information on lockers contact Homeroom teachers and/or the office.

Please also note the following:

1. We are oversubscribed for student parking and will be issuing permits only to Gr 12 students.
2. We encourage all of our students to walk, bike, and/or skate to their community secondary school. 
3. Our survey has shown not all students with parking permits drive daily.
4. Best practices for student drivers is to arrive early and stay for the duration of the school day so you do not lose your student parking spot.
5. We will consider student proximity and distance to school when issuing permits, potentially prioritizing students based on distance and school program.
6. At the end of the school year parking permits are returned to the office. There will be a nominal fee for lost parking permits.

To apply for a parking permit complete the parking application and attach a signed student parking contract.

• when moving between classes, have two hands on your device. 

2. Keep your Chromebook on the desk, completely. 

• Corners overhanging the table edge can get caught and cause falls. 

3. Keep your Chromebook dry. 

• Don’t leave your Chromebook in a backpack in the rain or on the snow, water can soak up and damage your device. 

4. Close the lid of your Chromebook. 

• When carrying your device, keep it closed up.

• Devices are easily knocked off desks by your bag. Be careful turning around with your bag on.
