ST. CHARLES COUNTY SCHOOL DISTRICTS NEW BAG POLICY Beginning August 2026, guests will be asked to follow the St. Charles County School District’s new bag guidelines (outlined below).  These guidelines will feel familiar to many, as they are comparable to those mandated at many collegiate and professional athletic events.  Approved bags include:  Diaper bags and medically necessary items (may be subject to search)  Clear plastic or vinyl bags no larger than 12” x 6” by 12”  One-gallon clear plastic freezer bags  Small clutch bags that are no larger than 4.5” x 6.5” Bags that do not meet the criteria listed above are not allowed. Examples of unapproved bags include:  Purses larger than a clutch bag  Briefcases  Backpacks  Belt bags, crossbodies or fanny packs  Cinch or drawstring bags  Computer or camera bags Guests carrying an unapproved bag will not be allowed entry to the facility. All bags are subject to search at the discretion of staff. Ticketed high school athletic events include all levels of football, basketball, volleyball, wrestling, JV/V soccer, JV/V lacrosse and track invitationals. Student athletes at these events may continue to enter our facilities with their bags under the supervision and discretion of the coaching staff or event sponsor.
