🎒Clear Backpack Policy for 2026-2027 🎒
The safety of our students is our top priority at Duncan Public Schools.
Beginning in the 2026-2027 school year, clear backpacks will be required for all PK-12 students.
This policy is part of our ongoing commitment to maintaining a safe learning environment for every student. Clear backpacks allow us to take proactive steps to ensure our schools remain secure while still allowing students to carry the items they need each day.
Students can carry the following in their backpacks:
A lunchbox and a pouch (pouches can be no larger than 5.5 x 8.5 inches) to hold personal items such as cell phones, money, and personal hygiene products.
Backpack Requirements:
Backpacks must have clear, see-through front, sides, back and bottom.
Mesh backpacks are not permitted
Colored transparent backpacks are not allowed
Backpacks may have colored straps
District-issued Chromebook cases are permitted
Organizer Requirements:
Mesh organizers are permitted in the backpack as long as staff are able to clearly see through the bag
Front pocket mesh organizers are allowed
Small clutch bags inside the clear backpack that must be 5.5 inches x 8.5 inches or smaller are allowed
Lunch Boxes:
Non-clear lunch boxes are permitted
Must be carried inside the clear backpack
Drawstring bags and sling bags are not permitted for lunches
Bags and Instruments:
Athletic/gym bags and instrument cases are not clear but must be stored as soon as the student arrives at school
Must be placed in lockers or secured in classrooms or athletic locker rooms as designated by school staff
Need More Information?
We understand you may have questions. We've put together a complete policy overview and FAQ to help answer them.

Miss Ramirez’s 1st Grade Class 2025-2026
I am so thankful for each and every one of these sweet students. We have made so many great memories that I will cherish forever. I have truly enjoyed watching all of the growth this year! This class will always hold a special place in my heart. I hope you all have an amazing summer! ☀️

“What an amazing group to begin my teaching journey. I can’t say enough amazing things about our class family; we’ve laughed until we’ve cried, cried until we’ve laughed, and most importantly each and every one of us has grown leaps and bounds! They will be truly missed.” - The proudest kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Higgins

Congratulations to Mrs. Smiley’s Kindergarten Class!
We are so proud of each and every one of you for all of your hard work, growth, and accomplishments this year. Watching you learn, laugh, and shine has been such a joy. You have grown so much and are ready for all the exciting adventures that 1st grade will bring.
Always remember to believe in yourselves, be kind to others, work hard, and never stop learning. Keep using your bright smiles, big hearts, and amazing minds to do wonderful things.
We know you will do great things in 1st grade, and we will always be so proud to have been your teachers.
We love you and wish you all the best as you begin this exciting new chapter!
With love,
Mrs. Smiley and Miss Chloe
