Families will supply clear backpacks for students for 2025-2026
Posted: June 3, 2025
Clear backpacks will continue to be required for all students for the 2025-2026 school year. Families will be responsible for supplying the clear backpacks for their students starting in 2025-2026.
The school system is working with community partners to assist families who may need donated backpacks.
We will continue to use the same backpack requirements.
Acceptable backpacks must be fully clear on all sides and made of transparent plastic or vinyl material. Fabric bottoms are acceptable, but not required, and are recommended for middle and high school students.
Mesh pockets on the side of the backpack are permitted as long as people are able to clearly see through the bag. Colored, transparent backpacks are not allowed; only fully clear backpacks will be permitted. The backpack may have colored straps and piping. Logos and branding are not permitted. A small non-transparent privacy pouch will be allowed for personal hygiene items.
Recommended retailers include Amazon, Target and Walmart.
