REMINDER: No Bookbags or Backpacks Starting April 29 Through End of the Remainder of the ’23-’24 School Year

Disponible en: Español


MIDDLE AND HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS

Beginning Monday, April 29, and for the remainder of the 2023-2024 school year, the district will prohibit backpacks for all high school and middle school students. Doing so will limit unnecessary distractions and allow campuses to focus on end-of-the-year activities and final exams. Students won’t be allowed to enter district facilities or ride the school bus with this item.

Our decision was not taken lightly and is just one step in an ongoing conversation about how we can best support students in our rapidly changing world. You will also see increased visibility of law enforcement in and around the schools due to various end-of-year activities and increased visitors on campus.

Questions

We appreciate your continued support. If you have any questions or concerns, please get in touch with your student’s school.
