Lockers this year will be assigned only by request; you will not have the same locker as last year. To check out a locker, please contact Diannia in Student Services. • Construction Safety Reminders: • Never climb or move a construction fence, even if it seems convenient. Stay on marked paths and outside construction fencing. • Be aware at all times of construction equipment. Workers are concentrating on their jobs and may not notice you. • Safety is everyone’s business. • Be aware of ongoing changes throughout the construction process. Routes may change or be blocked. • Be patient. You may not see a reason to be out of an area, but you must follow safety guidelines at all times. 5
