Students are allowed to carry book bags and backpacks to school. Individual teachers will decide whether or not to allow book bags and backpacks in their classroom. Otherwise, they should be placed in student lockers during the day and students should hand carry notebooks and materials from class to class.
Students are not allowed to take book bags or backpacks out of the classroom during their classes. If any student is concerned about the security of their backpack they should leave it with a staff member or secure it in their locker (any student can request a locker, just see your Advisor or the Main Office) during classes.
Student backpacks or other personal property are subject to search upon reasonable suspicion that they possess any item(s) or substance(s) that are prohibited by law or pose a threat to the school or individuals within the school. See school board policy JIH.
