- Based on school rules, our children are not allowed refillable or disposable water bottles in school. Only upon receipt of a doctor's note can a child be allowed to carry water. It can be expensive and a time constraint for a parent to have to get a doctor's note for the simple need of a water bottle. It is disruptive to the class and to the child's learning to have to continually be excused to go to the water fountain instead. Just like teachers are allowed, children should be allowed access to a water bottle to keep with them in class and drink from as needed.

I had this same trouble til the day I graduated (2015) and I tried to explain to faculty that I needed to be constantly hydrated because a hospitalization when I was little but I guess that didn't cut it.
I believe that we should be able to bring water bottles. The school water tastes disgusting. Plus, nobody would be roaming the halls for water because "that fountain didn't work." There would be less annoyance for teachers since we wouldn't have to leave the class.
Ridiculous I have to get my daughter a note, plus, they only honor the note for that one year. So I pay a co pay every year for WATER!
It is very disheartening to know that decisions like these are what takes any of the precious time of our administrators, teachers or staff, using our outrageously high tax dollars to discuss things like this. That, together with the fact that I am not at all comfortable with the quality of the water being provided via water fountains is NOT ACCEPTABLE.
My kids come home dehydrated and very thirsty. I have to take them to the doctor in order to get them notes to carry water at school. All kids should have access to water, to be able to carry water, at all times.
People should drink whenever they feel like not when is a chance
Athletes need to hydrate throughout the day to stay healthy reducing the risk of dehydration, heat exhaustion and muscle fatigue.

Giving the students permission to carry their own water bottle, refillable or disposable, is time effective, will reduce class disruption, aid in eliminating hygiene and health issues, and is a solution that is readily available whenever the school has drinking water problems.
