2025-2026 Electronic Device Policy

Updates:

Wireless Communication Devices:

Middle school scholars must keep wireless communication devices in the off position throughout the instructional school day and while participating in a school-sponsored activity on or off campus. Scholars are permitted to use their wireless communication devices before and after the instructional school day (prior to 9:20 AM and after 4:10 PM).

Smartwatches:

All the rules applicable to wireless communication devices apply to smartwatches; however, a scholar may wear smartwatches only in silent mode during the instructional day so there is not to be disruption to the classroom.  A smartwatch may not be worn during district and state assessments.

Responsibility / Liability:

Any scholar who chooses to bring a wireless communication device to school shall do so at their own risk and shall be personally responsible for the security of their wireless communications device(s).

The School Board is not responsible for preventing theft, loss, damage, or vandalism to wireless devices brought onto school property, or left on school-sponsored transportation, including any wireless device(s) confiscated due to inappropriate use.
