What can I do to stop that? Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!) If I was in your position, I would probably have all of the students place their backpacks in a tub or bin at the beginning of each day after they have gotten themselves ready for the day. If a tub is not available, maybe the students could keep there backpacks on coat hangers or keep them in one specific area of the classroom. You also should make an announcement on the first day of class about how everyone will work till the bell sounds or until class is over. You can continue the reminder as need be throughout the year.
