Students--if you leave your property (band instruments, backpacks, binders, coats, books, etc,) in the hallway, we cannot guarantee its safety.  In other words, you run the risk of your stuff being stolen, thrown away, or turned in to the lost and found.  If you receive a tardy for having to look for your belongings between classes it will not be excused.  This is not new.  If you have any questions please let me know.  Mrs. Schwan
