Revised Procedure For Backpacks for the 2018-19 School Year
The procedure would prohibit the use of any/all types of backpacks and slingbacks. The only container/pouch that would be permitted would be pencil pouches and/or small purses for girls. For students who have a PE class, they will be permitted (and encouraged) to use a slingback to transport their clothes/shoes to and from the gym.
Students are more than welcome to bring backpacks to school, however, they must be stored in their locker throughout the day.
During IE the first week of school, staff will work with students on how to navigate halls, work locks, organize lockers and map out a game plan for their day. Efforts will be made to teach students time management and the appropriate times to go to their locker (Before/after school, before/after lunch).
We are always looking to find ways to keep students as safe as possible in our building. Backpacks provide a greater opportunity for concealing things that pose a potential threat to staff and students (ex. weapons, vapes). Hallway safety has also been a concern as the size (and weight) of backpacks have posed issues with congestion and students losing their balance on stairs, causing injuries.
