Hi Dragon Families! 🐉

A quick reminder about campus rules and prohibited items. Please double-check backpacks (especially after summer hiking trips!) so nothing ends up at school by mistake.

Strictly Prohibited Items:

—Knives of any kind (including pocket, utility, or X-Acto knives)

—Self-defense items (pepper/bear spray, tasers, brass knuckles, glass-breaker keychains)

—Sharp objects (box cutters, razors, sharp-metal nail files)

—Toy weapons or replicas

Students may NOT bring or use: (Yes, these are all real rules because someone has actually tried it!)

—AI tools (Use your own brain! It counts as cheating.)

—Energy drinks

—Toys & Fidgets (skateboards, Tech Decks, slime, NeeDohs—please don’t!, squishies, magnets, ASMR toys, etc.)

—Personal keyboards or mouse (for computer or pet🐭😅

—Multiple people intentionally
congregating in a bathroom (“Potty parties”—gross and please make room for others who actually need to use the restroom)

—An item you consider valuable and would be upset if your child lost it (Labubus, personal electronics, or anything you’d be upset if your child lost)

* if your child has accommodations, defer to their IEP.

Thanks for helping us keep campus safe and distraction-free!
