Starting this school year, students will be banned from using personal electronic devices, including cell phones and smart watches, during school hours. This affects all DISD students (including elementary, middle, and high school levels).

Devices must be "away all day" and turned off. Students cannot use their phones during class, lunch, passing period, or any other time during the school day and while on the school grounds. This is a State of Texas-mandated policy that all school districts are required to follow. The goal is to minimize distractions and promote better focus on academics.
