We encourage students to stay hydrated throughout the school day. Our school is equipped with water refill stations and fountains to support this. When supplying a water bottle for your student, please keep the following guidelines in mind:

• Size: Under 32 ounces
• Visibility: Clear material
• Safety: Must have a lid that seals securely
• Durability: Made of non-shatter material

Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and healthy environment!
