How do I report a lost item?
Go to the "Report Lost" page, fill out the form with as much detail as possible including item description, location where you think you lost it, and upload a photo if you have one. Don't forget to provide your contact information so we can reach you when your item is found.
What should I do if I find someone's item?
First, hand over the item to school authorities (teachers, security, or admin office). Then, report the found item on our "Report Found" page with a detailed description. This helps the owner identify their item through our search system.
How do I search for my lost item?
Visit the "Search Items" page where you can browse all reported found items. Use the category filters, search by keywords, or filter by location and date to narrow down the results. Look for items that match your lost item's description.
What information should I include when reporting?
Be as detailed as possible: item category, color, brand, distinguishing features, size, and where/when you lost it. Include photos if available. For found items, describe where exactly you found it and which authority you handed it to.
How long do items stay in the system?
Items remain active in the system until they are marked as "Resolved" by school administrators. We recommend checking back regularly and updating your contact information if it changes.
Can I edit or delete my report?
Currently, report modifications need to be handled by school administrators for security reasons. If you need to update or remove a report, please contact the school office or use our contact form.
Tips for Success
📸 Include Photos
Photos make it much easier to identify items. Even if the photo isn't perfect, it helps distinguish your item from similar ones.
📝 Be Specific
The more details you provide, the better. Include brand names, colors, distinguishing marks, and any unique features that help identify your item.
⏰ Report Quickly
Report lost items as soon as possible while the details are fresh in your memory, and others are more likely to remember seeing your item.
🔄 Check Regularly
New found items are reported daily. Check the search page regularly, especially after weekends and holidays when items might be discovered.
