A note to parents : Our schools need to be a safe environment for all students . Please read this policy carefully and discuss it with your children . The Anoka-Hennepin School District firmly enforces all aspects of the School Discipline Policy to provide all students with a safe school experience . Occasionally , a student violates the Policy on Weapons section by mistakenly bringing a weapon , such as a pocketknife , to school . The policy is enforced regardless of whether or not the student intended to bring the weapon to school . Please emphasize the following cautions with your child :
• If you want to attend school in the Anoka-Hennepin district , DO NOT bring anything that could be considered a weapon to school with you .
• Weapons are not allowed on your person , in your desk or locker , or in your car in the school parking lot .
The district is also very serious about the policy related to controlled substances . No controlled substances – drugs , marijuana and alcohol – are allowed in school or within the school zone , defined as within 300 feet of school property .
