Backpack Health: Researchers recommend that a child's backpack should weigh no more than 10% of their body weight. The American Academy of Pediatrics suggests a limit of 15% of a child's weight for backpacks. Carrying heavy backpacks is associated wit the following risks:

• Muscle Soreness: Heavy backpacks can cause muscle soreness due to the strain on muscles and ligaments.
• Back and Neck Pain: Carrying excess weight can lead to back and neck pain.
• Poor Posture: Overloaded backpacks may cause poor posture.

* For safety reasons, we do not allow backpacks that have wheels unless the child has a doctor's note. Students' backpacks must hold all school supplies, lunch and anything else needed during the day. Students will not be carrying textbooks as they will have a set of books to take and keep at home.
