Clear Backpacks
We are committed to providing a safe and secure learning environment in Crowley ISD. As part of our continued efforts to ensure safer schools, we will require clear backpacks for all middle school and high school students in 6th-12th grade. This proactive measure is just one of the many safeguards we have in place to protect our students and staff.
If the principal determines that a student’s grooming or clothing violates the school’s dress code, the student will be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school and return to the classroom. If the problem cannot be corrected at school, the principal will work with the student and parent to obtain an acceptable change of clothing for the student in a way that minimizes loss of instructional time. Repeated or severe offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.
