High schoolers must lock up phones until lunch

What happened

Under the 2026-27 handbook, high school students must put their phones in their lockers by the first bell. They may use them only before school and at lunch, then must put them back. Grade school students must keep phones off and put away all day.

Why it matters to families

This changes the school day for every student. Repeat offenders lose the right to bring a phone at all, and a parent must pick it up.

The evidence

The handbook's 'Cell Phones/Unauthorized Computers' section sets the locker rule and the penalties: a warning, then detention, then a parent pickup and no phone at school. The board approved 2026-27 handbook changes on May 21, 2026.
