1. Choosing a backpack
We would prefer that students use a book bag or something similar to a messenger bag.
Students do not have large books or lots of paper to carry back and forth to school.
Smaller bags will fit more easily into the limited space that students have in which to
store their personal belongings. Research has also shown that carrying around heavy
backpacks is not good for the back. Having said all of this, if you would still like for your
student to have a backpack, please choose one that it is durable and can be stored in
our limited space. In either case, please, put your child’s name on the book bag or
backpack. So, please, no large backpacks or attached wheels.
2. Please label EVERYTHING
Please use a permanent market to label every single thing your child could possibly wear
or bring to school. Please DO label all new, old, or handed-down clothing and
