Backpack policy
To improve safety measures currently in place, YES Prep Public Schools will require all students to use clear or transparent backpacks. Small non-transparent bags no larger than 6” x 9” will be allowed for personal items, such as school supplies, cellphones, money and hygiene products.
Students participating in extracurricular activities are permitted to carry non-transparent bags to store items pertaining to their activity (i.e., athletics, dance, etc.). Upon entry into school, all extracurricular activity bags must be stored in lockers or designated areas.
Additionally, the maximum size for non-transparent bags permitted to carry during the school day, such as lunch kits and purses, will be 6”x 9”x 5”.
