Backpack Policy

For the 2025-2026 school year, clear backpacks are required for 9th through 12th graders and students in the Non-Traditional Programs (North, South and Middle). Students may carry a small, non-clear pouch in their backpack to hold personal items, such as cellphones, money and hygiene products.

Although this expectation is mandated for high school students, all Kindergarten - 8th Grade schools within our cluster are requesting and encouraging parents to have our students also carry a clear backpack to school in order to maintain continuity with school-wide expectations and safety for all students.
