We encourage students to bring their water bottles into school . We have a refillable water station for that purpose. However, students have been bringing many beverage alternatives to school that are not school friendly for a variety of reasons (ex. filled with sugar or stimulants, potential for sticky messes, etc.).
Therefore, and to the point, we will confiscate beverages and such that are not water. More specifically, the following list includes, but is not limited to, drinks and supplements that need to stay at home:
- Coffee (including bottled iced coffee)
- Energy Drinks
- Soda
- Sugar drinks
- Water enhancers (ex. Mios, Crystal Light Powders, etc.)
We also recognize that there is no possible list that could possibly address all of the "what-about-this"s that our 10-14 year olds may likely ask when testing the boundaries of what they can and can't bring... so we urge parents to help their students err on the side of caution and assume that we may confiscate whatever they bring if it's not water. Thank you for your support!
