WATER BOTTLE ACCESS - STAFF

Because water is a necessary nutrient to maintain and improve health, students and staff may carry a clear, plastic water-bottle while on campus. In an effort to limit confusion, the following rules apply to students and staff:

1. To prevent spills, the bottle must be capped with either a push-button or sid-lid or an automatic seal spout.
   
   

2. A screw on lid or push top lid is not sufficient.
   
   

3. The container must contain plain water.
   
   

4. There can be no juice, soda, addable, or energy drink.
   
   

5. The water may be consumed during class but not in close proximity of technology equipment, during science labs, or in the library.
   
   

6. Classroom rules regarding the use of the restroom will be in effect.  Students and staff need to take care of restroom needs before class starts and one must be responsible for the amount of water that is taken in during classroom time.
   
   

7. Students and staff will be responsible to fill the bottle between classes.  A student may not leave class to fill a bottle.
   
   

8. Water bottles are not to be played with on school grounds.  This includes throwing the bottle or pouring the contents to the bottle onto a student, staff or equipment.
