What happened

The posted policy permits device use during lunch and between classes under conditions, with specific exceptions.

Why it matters to families

Device rules affect how students use phones and other personal devices at school.

The evidence

Policy 5136 is labeled revised July 20, 2026. Other times devices must be off and out of sight, with emergency, health, IEP/504 and teacher-authorized instructional exceptions. The precise revisions on that date are unverified.
