D88 Water Bottle Guidelines
All schools in the Plano School District have bottle fillers, because water fountains had to be shut down due to COVID-19. Plano Schools will allow students to have water bottles in the classrooms with the following considerations:
• The container must be clear and contain water only. No juice, soda, addables, or energy drinks. If there is a question regarding the type of liquid in the bottles, staff may ask students to dump out the contents and refill with water from the filler.
• The container must have a closeable lid of some sort; this will be a screw-on lid or a push top.
• Students must wear a mask while in the classroom, but may remove it briefly to drink water from their bottle and then replace the mask.
• Bottles are not to be in close proximity to any technology (computers, document cameras, or projectors).
• Water bottles are not to be played with on school grounds. This includes throwing the bottle, flipping the bottle, or pouring the contents of the bottle onto another student, teacher or the floor.
Any failure to follow this policy may result in the student losing the privilege of having water in the classrooms.
Directrices de la botella de agua D88
Todas las escuelas del Distrito Escolar de Plano tienen llenadoras de botellas, porque las fuentes de agua tuvieron que cerrarse debido al COVID-19. Las escuelas de Plano permitirán que los estudiantes tengan botellas de agua en las aulas con las siguientes consideraciones:
• El recipiente debe ser transparente y contener solo agua. Sin jugos, refrescos, añadidos ni bebidas energéticas. Si hay una pregunta sobre el tipo de líquido en las botellas, el personal puede pedir a los estudiantes que tiren el contenido y vuelvan a llenar con agua del llenador.
• El recipiente debe tener una tapa que se pueda cerrar de algún tipo; será una tapa de rosca o una tapa de empuje.
• Los estudiantes deben usar una máscara mientras estén en el salón de clases, pero pueden quitársela brevemente para beber agua de su botella y luego reemplazar la máscara.
• Las botellas no deben estar cerca de ninguna tecnología (computadoras, cámaras de documentos o proyectores).
• No se permite jugar con botellas de agua en los terrenos de la escuela. Esto incluye arrojar la botella, voltear la botella o verter el contenido de la botella sobre otro estudiante, maestro o el piso.
Cualquier incumplimiento de esta política puede resultar en que el estudiante pierda el privilegio de tener agua en las aulas.
