Student Cell Phone Expectations

Elementary and Middle School

All elementary and middle schools will be cell phone-free during school hours.

High School

All high schools will be cell phone-free during classroom time. Devices may be used before school, after school, at lunch, and during passing periods, but not during instructional time unless in an emergency or authorized by an administrator.

Accommodations may be made for students with specific medical or other documented needs.

The decision to implement these changes was made following careful consideration and after student, staff and family outreach. This change aims to increase in-person social connection, minimize classroom distractions, enhance well-being, and improve your student’s educational experience.

We understand that this policy will be an adjustment for students, families and staff. We appreciate your support and cooperation, as this new policy is not meant to be punitive. Our goal is to work together to ensure students can thrive in a distraction-free and supportive educational environment.
