Rowellen, we were given an info pack in orientation and it covers pretty much everything.

Blackcat, I agree with the zip. The Velcro lunch box closures wear out and tend to open in the bag, especially when shoved in upside down. I wouldn't get a big drink bottle, they are very heavy and kids drink from the water fountains mainly anyway. I found a good systema twist top one that worked well last year and it was a nice size.
