For the 2025-26 school year, clear backpacks are required for ninth through 12th graders and students in the Non-Traditional Programs (North, South and Middle). Students may carry a small, non-clear pouch in their backpack to hold personal items, such as cellphones, money and hygiene products. Clear backpack policy for middle school students in grades 6-8 is determined on a school-by-school basis.
