Early Locker Day FAQs
What is Early Locker Day?
It is a great opportunity for students to get their locker assignment early- they can take their time as they practice opening their locker, bring things from home to decorate the inside, etc. Students not attending Early Locker Day will receive their locker assignment the first two days of school. NEW this year- 6th grade students will not being getting lockers at Viper Camp. AND students can choose any locker on their grade level hallway. It does not have to be with their Power Time Class.
When is Early Locker Day?
Early Locker Day is Friday, July 26, 2024. You can attend any time between 10:00 - 1:00 pm.
Is Early Locker Day open to all students?
Our event is open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade students when families purchase a 2024-25 PTO Membership. (All students must also purchase a Viper Pack through the school.*)
Where can I purchase a PTO Membership?
Vickery Creek Middle School PTO (formerly PTA) — Vickery Creek Middle School PTO (vcmspto.com)
They will be ready to purchase the beginning of July along with New Spirit Wear!
I'm going to be out of town on Early Locker Day. Can I come on another day?
If you or your student can't make it to Early Locker Day on July 26, they will get their locker during the first week of school.
I have more than one student at VCMS. Do I need to pay for siblings?
All PTO Memberships are "family memberships" and include siblings. You only need to buy one membership!
Can my student decorate their locker?
That is the fun part of this event! Students may bring locker accessories such as shelves, magnetic mirrors, pictures, and any school supplies they wish to store in their locker. This is the whole point of coming early! You can have low stess time with your locker to practice opening it and setting it up!
Will there be volunteer opportunities for Early Locker Day like last year?
Yes! We are always so grateful for our volunteers! As a perk if you sign up you get to come even earlier to chose your locker!

What about the Viper Pack? *
If you're a returning VCMS Family, you may remember the Viper Pack from last year. If you're new, here are some details: the Viper Pack is a county-wide middle school requirement and includes various school fees such as locker fee, facilities fee, technology fee, etc. Viper Packs are a purchase made through the Forsyth County Schools payment platform (SchoolPay); this is separate from the PTO. To attend our PTO Early Locker Day event, you'll need to purchase both your Viper Pack (one per student) and a PTO Membership (one per family). Details about Viper Packs will be shared by the school later this summer.
Why should I join PTO?
PTO Memberships are a vital part of our Vickery community! Through your support last year, we were able to: provide teacher, classroom, and school grants to benefit students; host our annual 8th Grade Dance and end-of-year Picnic; fund school improvement projects; host Staff Appreciation and monthly hospitality days; organize volunteers for various school events; support our school clinic with donations and needed items; help fund Fang Fest: and so much more.
