Clear Bag Policy

Security measures at the Ambler Pennsylvania High School have limited students in there choice of backpacks. The Wissahichon School District has mandated that all students carry clear book bags, clear backpacks, clear laptop bags and clear lunch bags. The mandate was approved after the recommendation of officials at the School Safety Task Force Commission. A high school student sadly killed himself at the school this year. Students are allowed to bring mesh backpacks but not permitted to bring them inside the building. Only approved clear backpacks ad allow into buildings on campus.
School officials know that nothing is fool proof but all agree that the clear bag policy will
greatly improve the security of all students and staff. Wissahickon High School is the third school to adopt the clear bag policy in Montgomery County.
