Cell Phones in Schools

While cell phones and other devices have many benefits, they can be a distraction to student learning and harmful to mental wellbeing. Beginning in fall 2023, school policy at all schools is to keep phones and personal devices “off and away the entire day”. Parents who need to communicate with students during the school day can reach out to them on their school email or call the school’s front office.
