Backpack Rules 

Rolling backpacks or suitcases will NOT be allowed for any student (our feet and toes will be thankful). This decision has been made for the safety and health of our students and staff.

  • Folders/Binders: Teachers for each grade will develop a folder/binder system to minimize the required materials.
  • Remember, students have a locker! Packing the backpack for morning classes and then switching materials at lunch means that the backpack won't be too heavy to carry throughout the day. No reason to break the back!
  • The teachers will be working with students on backpack and locker organization.
  • Never fear, there IS enough time between class to go to lockers.
  • Minimize office supplies - carry only what is required. Students do not need to carry a full set of office supplies.

Disinfectant Wipes 
Facial Tissue 
Hand Sanitizer
