Each student is assigned a book and a P.E. locker for storage of school supplies and equipment. Lockers are the property of Westborough Middle School and may be inspected at any time. Students will be held responsible for all contents and maintenance of lockers. Students may not share lockers and are not to give their combinations to any other student.

Student lockers are under the joint control of the student, District, and school officials. School officials have the right and ability to open and inspect any school locker without student permission when they have reasonable suspicion that the search will disclose evidence of illegal possessions or activity or when odors, smoke, fire, or other threats to student health, welfare,  and safety emanate from the locker.  

For health and safety reasons, a general inspection of school properties such as lockers and desks may be conducted on a regular, announced basis, with students standing by their lockers or desks. Any items in a locker shall be considered the property of the student to whom the locker is assigned.  Notice of this policy shall be given to all students.
