🐻💙 ATTENTION, LOYALTON MIDDLE SCHOOL FAMILIES! 💙🐻
📵 LMS IS A PHONE-FREE LEARNING ENVIRONMENT!
At Loyalton Middle School, we want our students focused on learning, building positive relationships, and making the most of their school day—without the distractions of cell phones!
A few important reminders about our phone-free policy:
✅ Cell phones and personal devices must be POWERED OFF.
✅ Devices must remain OUT OF SIGHT.
✅ Devices must be STORED throughout the school day.
🔒 YONDR POUCHES ARE AVAILABLE, BUT NOT REQUIRED!
Students may use a Yondr pouch to help keep their phones stored during the day. However, whether they use a pouch or not, ALL students are expected to follow our phone-free policy.
⚠️ What happens if a phone is seen during school hours?
The device may be taken to the school office and held until a parent or guardian picks it up.
📋 CALIFORNIA PHONE-FREE SCHOOLS ACT
In 2024, Governor Gavin Newsom signed Assembly Bill 3216, requiring California schools to adopt policies limiting or prohibiting smartphone use by July 1, 2026, with certain exceptions.
📞 Need to reach your student? No problem! Simply contact the LMS office, and we will make sure your message gets to them.
