As we near the new school year we wanted to share with families the clear bag policy going into effect for on campus events this year. This will also apply to DCS Open Houses. Please see details below and for more information from our county leadership in the coming weeks.
- DCSs will use OPENGATE for all indoor events during the school day, and when OPENGATE is in effect, so is the clear bag policy.
- OPENGATE will be used at athletic events that also require an SRO/deputy (football, basketball, wrestling). Clear bag policy will also be in effect.
- OPENGATE and clear bag policy will be used/in effect for after school/evening events put on by the school (not PTO, outside agencies)
- OPENGATE and clear bag policy will be used/in effect for events during the school day that are an open-invitation, such as open house, registration events, Grandparents Day, etc.
- For events such as classroom parties, OPENGATE/clear bag will be used/in effect. If a parent is bringing items such as food, etc. that cannot be in a clear bag, the bags will be cleared via OPENGATE. Personal items must be in a clear bag (exceptions for medical needs).
