On this day there will be bins set up outside of the cafeteria to collect 1) Chromebooks 2) Textbooks and 3) Library books. Please make sure all items you are returning are clearly labelled with your name and placed in the appropriate bin. Unfortunately on this date, we are unable to facilitate locker cleanouts for those who did not take this opportunity in June. Lockers will not be used for this semester, but will remain locked.
