To support student focus, well-being, and academic achievement, Cleveland ISD is implementing a Distraction-Free Education Policy aligned with House Bill 1481. This new policy limits the use of personal electronic devices during the school day.
What You Need to Know:
🔹 Elementary & Middle School & High School
All personal devices (including cell phones, earbuds, smartwatches, etc.) must be powered off and stored away from the first bell to the last.
🔹 All Campuses:
This policy applies during passing periods, assemblies, and all school activities.
Why It Matters:
The goal is to reduce distractions, enhance emotional wellness, and strengthen student engagement with peers, teachers, and learning.
How Families Can Support:
✅ Talk with your child about staying focused and device-free at school.
✅ Ensure devices are stored in backpacks
✅ To reach your child during the school day, please call the school’s front office.
Thank you for partnering with Cleveland ISD to create a safe, focused, and connected learning environment!
