Rockingham County Bans Non-Clear Water Bottles | Winston–Salem News

Rockingham County Schools is cracking down on drink containers starting in the 2026-2027 school year—only clear plastic water bottles allowed, no metal, opaque, insulated, or tinted options. The move aims to boost safety and reduce discipline issues by limiting potential weapons on campus. Students can still hydrate via fountains and filling stations. This follows Winston-Salem/Forsyth’s recent metal bottle ban, citing real incidents of bottles being used as weapons. Parents, start shopping for clear bottles now—your kid’s safety is the priority.
