DCSD Cell Phone Policy & Expectations
Last year, Governor Reynolds passed HF782, which prohibits the use of cell phones during instructional time. DCSD’s cell phone policy, which states that cell phones are to be off and away during instructional time, is already in compliance with HF782. This year, DCSD will be prioritizing consistent implementation of cell phone expectations across all buildings to provide a distraction free classroom environment where your student can thrive academically.
