Dear Parents and Students,

There are items that are not allowed on school property because they are considered a weapon. If a student brings one of these items on school property or to a school-sponsored function, regardless of whether the student intends to use the item or not, he/she can face an expulsion recommendation and the involvement of the Joliet Police Department.

These items include, but are not limited, to the following: Mace, Pepper Spray, Box Cutter, Pocket Knife, Any Lookalike Gun/Weapon, Airsoft/Pellet Gun, Gel/Water Gun, Gel/Orbeez Gun, BB Gun, Gun/Rifle, Brass Knuckles, Kubaton, Taser. A more extensive list of items prohibited on school grounds and the associated school board policy is HERE.
