Steps students can take to prevent theft

Theft Prevention

The best method of theft prevention is to be aware of the possibility of theft occurring and strive to eliminate these opportunities. Each student and employee of the school has a responsibility in the area of theft prevention; however, the school cannot be responsible for items that are lost or stolen. Listed below are some ways to prevent theft:

1. Never leave anything in a "locker that does not" have a lock. Never leave cameras, jewelry, money, or valuables in a locker even if it has a lock.
2. Never leave anything of value in the physical education dressing rooms. Valuables should be given to the instructors.
3. Band instruments should never be left unprotected.
4. If you remove rings to wash your hands, then be sure that when you leave you have not left them on the soap or towel dispensers.
5. Never leave your purse unattended.
6. Never leave anything of value on your desk while you go to assembly programs, chalkboards, library, restroom, etc.
7. If you are staying after school for practice or club meetings, practice the same theft-prevention habits you would during school.
