SPS is enforcing a new cell phone/electronic device policy for the 2025-2026 school year.
State law now prohibits students from using or displaying any personal electronic communication devices during the school day. This includes, but is not limited to, cell phones, smartwatches, headphones, wireless earbuds or any similar device capable of initiating, receiving, storing or viewing communication, information, images or data electronically. Devices must be turned off and stored out of sight.
