Messages for Students
Students will be called during lunches and the last five minutes of the day to pick up messages in the office. Only emergency messages from parents will be communicated to students​. Please note that the BHS administration CANNOT guarantee that students receive messages.
Lockers
Lockers (including locks) for the school year cost each student $5.00 (no refunds)​. ​No personal locks ​may be used for school lockers, and school policy prohibits students from sharing lockers or giving their combinations to others. Only school administrators can authorize students changing lockers. ​Students are responsible for damage​ to their lockers. Students having problems should check with the office. Locks and lockers are the property of James F. Byrnes High School and are subject to periodic inspection by the administration. Lockers may be opened by school administrators without students’ consent. Any item found in a student’s locker is deemed to be the property of the student to whom the locker is assigned.
Textbooks
Students are given textbooks for use during the school year. These textbooks are on loan and are the student’s responsibility while checked out to them. Students will be required to pay the full replacement cost for the textbook if lost or damaged. Any damage to the bar code will result in a $10.00 replacement fee for the bar code ​unless ​the textbook has been damaged, which will result in the student being assessed the full replacement cost for the textbook.
Canine Searches
To promote a safe and orderly environment, District Five Schools has contracted with the Duncan Police Department to assist with periodic, unannounced searches of the schools, school grounds, and all personal property on school grounds. The Duncan Police Department has highly trained dogs to search for a variety of contraband. Please note the following:
• All property and people (including students, staff, visitors, etc.) are subject to searches.
• Vehicles and other personal property are subject to searches.
• Inspectors are searching for illegal drugs, controlled substances,
weapons, and other items of contraband.
