Cell Phone Policy Update

As we shared in May, this school year brings changes to student technology & cell phone policy.

This is a graphic promoting Indiana's new cell phone law for schools.

In Washington Township Schools, we aim to ensure students build the digital skills necessary for success while preserving meaningful opportunities for hands-on learning, collaboration, and in-person connections, that are developmentally appropriate and essential to how students learn and grow.

In our classrooms, technology is to be used with clear purpose and intention to enhance learning, not replace it. We want students to think critically, stay engaged, and remain connected to their learning community while also developing the skills to use technology as a tool for innovation and problem-solving.

State expectations also require students to build digital proficiency at an early age, including foundational STEM standards in Kindergarten and First Grade, and digital assessments beginning in primary grades. As a result, students will engage with technology in developmentally appropriate ways that support both skill-building and academic growth.

We will continue to keep our families informed about how we are working toward the perfect balance between building skills with digital tools while also doing so in a developmentally appropriate manner.

Bell-to-Bell No CELL (All Students)

New state law requires that personal wireless devices may not be used during the school day beginning July 1, 2026. This policy includes cell phones, tablets, laptops, smartwatches, and all other internet-capable devices, including smart glasses.
All personal wireless devices must be powered off and stored for the entire school day, including during lunch and passing periods. THIS WILL BE A CHANGE FOR NC STUDENTS!
Students who have medical or educational accommodations may have those addressed through a health plan, 504 plan, or IEP. Families will work with their school team to discuss the need for these types of accommodations.
As with any significant change to policies and routines, we will need parental support to reinforce this expectation so educators can stay focused on teaching rather than managing devices. This includes setting a good example by not contacting students during the school day. Your child's school will communicate ways to assist you in conveying information to your child if needed during the school day.
Students who do not follow these expectations will be subject to disciplinary action in accordance with our Student Code of Conduct. Specific guidelines outlined in our Student Handbooks will be released by schools with back-to-school communications.
