In order to support focused and engaging educational environments, DASD has updated its expectations for student personal electronic device use.

  • Grades K-8: The District will require a "Bell-to-Bell, Off and Away" procedure for all students in grades K-8.
    • Upon entering the school building, all cellular phones must be powered completely off and stored immediately out of sight in designated student cubby or locker.
  • Grades 9-12: Cell phone access will be prohibited during all classes.
    • During Instructional Time: cellular phones must be silenced and placed in a designated classroom storage area.
    • During Non-Instructional Time: High school students are permitted to use PEDs responsibly during their scheduled lunch periods in the cafeteria and during designated hallway passing periods.

Additional information will be shared by your child's principal and can be found in the Administrative Guideline: 237 AG Electronic Devices.
