Can my student bring a water bottle to class?
Students are welcomed and encouraged to bring a water bottle to class. It needs to be labeled, have a lid that closely completely (screw top or pop top, no straws, no travel mugs), and go home every night. Students are only permitted to drink water in class (no juice, sports drinks, sodas, etc).
