Reminder…

Reasons for Backpack Policy

• If backpacks and bags are allowed in classrooms, some students could choose to carry illegal

and unsafe items throughout the day. This includes drugs and weapons.

• Classrooms may become congested, making it more challenging for all students and staff to move safely throughout the room. This is especially challenging for anyone with mobility issues.

Expectations

• Students are expected to take their backpacks, string backpacks, and handbags to their locker during the school day.

• Bags will not be allowed in the classroom or in the hallways unless approval has been given by administration.

• Students cannot be late to class. Having to go to their locker will not be an excuse to be late.
