Dear Parents and Guardians,
We are writing to inform you of an important change to our school policy regarding student use of personal communication devices on campus. In accordance with a new state law recently signed by the Governor, St. David Unified School District has adopted a revised Communication Device Policy, which will go into effect first day of school.
Under this new policy:
· Personal communication devices—including cell phones, smartwatches, and similar electronics—may not be used on campus during school hours, except during lunch time.
· At the beginning of the school day, students will be expected to store their devices in assigned school lockers located in the library, where they will remain until the end of the day or lunch period.
· Any student who is found using a device outside of the designated lunch period will have the device confiscated. In such cases, the device must be picked up by a parent or guardian from the school office.
This policy has been implemented to comply with state law and to support key educational goals, including:
· Increasing student focus and engagement in the classroom
· Promoting healthier social interactions
· Improving the overall educational experience for all students
We appreciate your support in helping us create a learning environment free from unnecessary distractions. If you have any questions or concerns about the policy, please feel free to contact the school office at 520-720-4781.
Thank you for your partnership in supporting student success.
Sincerely,
Andrew Brogan, Principal
