1.Q: Will every student have a locker?Do all students need a lock?
A:Every student will be assigned their own locker that will be close to their core classes. Locker sharing is not allowed.
To make sure their belongings are secure, it is highly recommended that every student use a combination lock (we have noticed that keys get lost easier than combinations).
Students who do not use a lock take a huge risk when leaving their belongings in their locker.
Lindale Middle School is not responsible for lost or stolen items from lockers.
All students should know how to effectively open and close a lock.
Locks can be purchased from Lindale Middle School for $5.00.
Locks will be sold at New Student Orientation.
Students can also purchase locks from school once school begins.
2.Q: Do students have to wear the Phys.Ed. Uniform and cost?
A: Yes, every student must wear the PE uniform during PE class.
Uniforms cannot be shared.
New uniforms are $20 ($10 for shirt, $10 for shorts)
Students may wear their personal black shorts, granted they are approved by the PE staff.
Students must also be sure to wear appropriate athletic footwear (no boots, no sandals, no slippers, no dress shoes, no bare feet) For every day that students forget their uniform, a rental uniform will be provided at a rental fee of $1.00 per day.
If students do not have money, they will acquire an indebtness form for any money owed.
Rentals are returned at end of each class.
Students are allowed to wear sweat pants or sweat shirts over their uniforms during colder weather.
Jewelry is not permitted, except for stud earrings.
All students must provide their own locks for PE lockers.
More information, such as locker room procedures, will be distributed by the PE teacher once school begins.
3.Q:When will students find out what their schedule is?
A: Students receive their schedules on their first day of school.
All students will be escorted to the 6th,7th or 8th grade hallway, where they will find a classroom based on their last name.
Once there, students will be shown how to read their schedule before reporting to their 1st Period class.
More information will be delivered in the August newsletter.
