These may change each semester. The facilities must be supervised by a Uni High P.E./Athletic Department staff member at all times.
n Lockers — A locker is assigned to each student prior to the beginning of the school year, and students are reminded to protect their valuables stored in their lockers. It has been the custom that some students trade these lockers with each other. This trade is allowed if both parties willingly agree. Any locker trade must be approved and listed in the main office.
Padlocks are issued by the main office to students whose lockers do not have built-in locks. Students are asked to turn in their padlocks at the end of the school year. There is a $8 replacement fee for lost locks.
When students are issued their locker numbers at the beginning of
the year, they are asked to examine their lockers immediately for damage,
dents, peeled paint, etc., and to record the condition of their lockers on a
form which will be filed in the main office. Students are expected to clean
their lockers completely before school closes on the last day of final
exams. In early June, the condition of the locker is checked in order to
identify any new damage that has occurred during the year. Students will be
billed $25 to cover the cost of cleaning and repairing any new damages.
School lockers are the property of the University of Illinois Laboratory
High School and are made available to students for their convenience.
Lockers may be subject to search provided school officials have reasonable
cause.
n Locks for Physical Education — Locks for PE lockers will be loaned to Uni students from the Division of Campus Recreation in Kenney Gym. There is no charge for the use of these locks, unless they are not returned at the end of the year.
Gym lockers are the property of the University of Illinois Laboratory High School and are made available to students for their convenience. Lockers may be subject to search provided school officials have reasonable cause.

Students may also use the Main Office phone when conducting business related to club activities. Students should check with the secretaries before using the phone. Cell phones are allowed in the south hallways during the day. They should be turned off and returned to the locker or book bag at the end of the call.
Failure to read the Student Handbook does not mean that students and parents will not be held to the handbook provisions.
n Cell Phone Policy
Adopted January 17, 2002, Pagers and Cell Phone Rule—
In order to maintain a quiet and orderly learning environment, students are not allowed to use or have turned on any electronic signaling and cellular radio-telecommunication devices while at University High School during the hours of 7:30 a.m. to 3:50 p.m and at University High School sponsored activities unless authorized and approved by the Administration or supervising faculty member. University High School expects students to exercise due care and common courtesy when using cell phones during extra-curricular time. The only exception to this rule is as follows: Cell phones may be used during the day in the south entry way and in a non-disruptive manner.
Phones on during the school day in the school will be confiscated. If phones are used for academic dishonesty, they will be confiscated for the remainder of the year and the applicable rules for academic dishonesty will be in effect.
Electronic signaling devices include pocket — and all similar — electronic paging devices. Cellular radio telecommunication devices include but are not limited to Personal Digital Assistant devices, laptop computers, walkie-talkies and devices that incorporate voice communication or can function as a cellular phone. The use of Personal Digital Assistant devices and laptop computers for instructional purposes is generally permitted, but the administration and/or the classroom teacher may limit their use.
Students at University High School may store cellular phones (that are turned off) in their lockers. University High School is NOT responsible for a lost or stolen cell phone. During extra curricular events and activities (such as a concert, dance, or play), cell phones may be used only at the conclusion of the activity or extra curricular event under the direct supervision of the activity sponsor.
• Students are not allowed to have laser pointers at school.
This process of change and adoption has included: SFAC, Student Council, Faculty, Students, Curriculum Committee, Executive Committee, and a Faculty vote.
