Review FUHSD's Annual Notifications on the District website.

Lockers are assigned to students during the first weeks of school. It is the student’s responsibility to provide a lock and to maintain a clean locker area. Monta Vista is not responsible for lost or stolen items. Since the lockers are located outside of secured areas, items left overnight and on weekends may be subject to theft or vandalism. Lockers may be subject to search by school personnel. Students who do not follow the process of applying for a locker will lose their locker privileges; locks will be cut and contents removed from lockers that are not officially assigned.

Please fill out the chalk school locker form and your locker will be assigned to you. If you have any questions please see Mrs. Mandac in the ASB office.
