Student Backpacks

If a student chooses to carry a backpack, it must be clear. This requirement applies to all students attending Castleberry ISD.

For the purpose of this policy, the term backpack includes any bag worn or carried by a student that is larger than 10 inches x 7 inches x 4 inches. This includes, but is not limited to, traditional backpacks, sling bags, messenger bags, and oversized purses. All such bags must comply with the guidelines below:

• Backpacks must be made of clear/transparent material. 

• All contents must be fully visible from all angles while being worn or carried.

• A small logo is permitted; however, it must not obstruct the visibility of the bag’s contents.

• Large logos, monograms, patterns, or any other visual obstructions are not allowed.

• Mesh backpacks, rolling backpacks, and backpacks with padded backs are not permitted.

Students who arrive on campus with a non-compliant bag may be asked to store it in a designated location or return it to their home.
