And if she brings her field hockey clothes/equipment in a non clear bag, it must be dropped off in a special room where it will be locked up until after school. Is this common in public schools?

I got a letter telling me about the dress code/sports equipment and the clear backpacks. Purses/handbags were not mentioned. We are going Monday morning to meet her guidance counselor and to select her classes. I will ask. I just wondered if this is being done in other parts of the country. Where do you even buy a clear backpack??

The backpacks were of the normal sort. Feel sorry for the girls that don't use tampons. Does this mean the girls can't even carry a purse? I'm happy my son is done with all that!

Not to state the obvious....consider goggling "clear backpacks".

Apparently they are insuring that they do NOT become an inner city school in a crime ridden area. Or they are wary of terrorists.
