Beginning this school year, students will keep cell phones and personal electronic devices turned off and put away during the school day.
Why are we making this change?
Research and the experiences of schools across the country show that reducing cell phone use during the school day helps students:
📚 Stay focused and engaged in learning
🤝 Rebuild healthy face-to-face relationships
🧠 Reduce daily stress and anxiety
💬 Increase meaningful conversations with peers and staff
🏫 Create a more positive, respectful learning environment for everyone
This policy isn't about taking something away—it's about giving students back valuable opportunities to connect, learn, and thrive.
If you need to reach your child during the school day, simply call the school office at 308-425-6283, and we'll make sure your message is delivered as quickly as possible.
Please take a moment to review the attached Policy 6025 overview. We appreciate your partnership as we work together to provide a learning environment where every student can succeed.
