• ALL students in Pre-K - 8th grade MUST wear CLEAR OR MESH BACKPACKS. If a student shows up on the first day with a backpack that is NOT clear or mesh, a clear backpack will be provided for them to transfer their supplies. (we realize the clear backpacks.

In the district's ongoing effort to ensure safer schools, Dallas ISD will require clear backpacks for ALL STUDENTS for the 24-25 school year. We know these were not available on Meet the Teacher night but they have arrived and will be made available to students.

As an additional option, mesh backpacks will be acceptable, however clear ones are preferred. Students may carry a small, non-clear pouch in their backpack to hold personal items, such as cellphones, money, and hygiene products.

Middle school students may bring and extra bag if they have to dress out for an elective class but this bag is subject to search if it is not clear.

To support families, each student will be provided a durable clear backpack at no cost. Parents may also purchase the preferred clear backpack, or the acceptable mesh backpack, for their students.

Como parte de nuestro continuo esfuerzo por mantener las escuelas seguras, Dallas ISD requerirá que los estudiantes usen mochilas transparentes a partir del año escolar 2023–2024.

También tendrán la opción de usar mochilas de malla, pero se prefiere el uso de mochilas transparentes. Los estudiantes también podrán traer un bolso pequeño, aunque este no sea transparente, en su mochila para guardar objetos personales como su teléfono, dinero y productos de hygiene. Con el fin de apoyar a las familias, se proporcionarán mochilas transparentes de material resistente a todos los estudiantes sin costo alguno. Los padres también pueden optar por comprar por preferencia una mochila transparente, o bien una mochila de malla, para su hija.
