FREE TO FOCUS
Beginning January 6, 2025
The South Carolina Department of Education has released a policy that prohibits the use of personal electronic devices during the school day.
The purpose of this policy is to create a phone-free school environment that fosters a positive learning experience free from electronic distractions.
During the school day, students are prohibited from accessing their personal electronic devices. Students may not wear or access device accessories during the school day.
This includes, but is not limited to, cell phones, smart watches, tablets, and gaming devices.
