On Tuesday, July 23, 2024, the School Board voted to limit students’ access to wireless communication devices during school time.  I want to stress that this is not a ban on cell phones or other technology; it is meant to help students Elevate their Learning and Disconnect to Reconnect in a Distraction-Free Environment.

Students are permitted to bring a cell phone or other electronic device to school; however, during school hours, their devices must be off or in airplane mode unless authorized by a school employee for instructional purposes.  As we transition our students and families to this new normal, the first two weeks of school, August 12-23, 2024, will be a grace period during which students and parents will have the opportunity to adjust to this new policy without receiving punitive consequences; however, the distraction-free environment will be fully implemented and enforced beginning Monday, August 26, 2024.
