Dear Parents and Guardians, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to inform you about the new statewide Cell Phone Policy for Schools in South Carolina, which has been implemented to create a more focused and effective learning environment for all students. Beginning January 1, 2025, the South Carolina Department of Education requires that personal electronic devices, including cell phones, be regulated during school hours to minimize distractions and enhance student engagement. Our district has aligned its procedures with this policy to support academic success and ensure a safe learning environment. For the purpose of the policy, the school day is defined as the beginning of the instructional day to the dismissal of the instructional day (from bell to bell). Key Points of the New Cell Phone Policy: 1. Classroom Use: o Students are not permitted to use cell phones during instructional time unless explicitly authorized by the teacher for educational purposes. o Cell phones must be turned off or placed on silent and stored securely away such as in backpacks, lockers, or designated areas during class. 2. Medical Necessity: o Explicitly required by a student’s IEP, Medical Plan, or 504 Plan. 3. Volunteer Services o Students who are members of a volunteer firefighting or emergency organization may be authorized to carry a telecommunication device with written permission from the District / School designee. We understand the important role that cell phones play in staying connected with your child. However, this policy aims to promote responsible use of technology while prioritizing academic and social growth. Your partnership in reinforcing these guidelines is crucial to the success of this initiative. Please review the policy with your child and discuss the importance of maintaining a distraction-free learning environment. If you have any questions or concerns about the new policy, feel free to reach out to your child’s school. Thank you for your support as we work together to ensure a productive and focused school experience for all students. Sincerely, Dr. Lori Brownlee-Brewton, Superintendent
