Week of May 14, 2012 MS Lost & Found and Forgotten Items The Middle School has lost and found bins located on the 2nd floor by the Faculty Lounge and outside the Cafeteria. If a student has forgotten their lunch, gym clothes or books they can be dropped off in the designated area outside the Middle School main office. If you are dropping off lunch money for your child please bring that in the main office. We ask that you do not leave valuables in the drop box such as money, electronics or instruments. Due to limited space in the main office we are unable to store these items. We are unable to contact your child during the school day to advise them that items are waiting for them so please speak with your child and have a plan should they forget something. If a student has lost their agenda or lock a replacement can be purchased for $5 from the main office. It is important that students do not share their locker combination with their friends.
