Dear Prairie View Families,
Attached you will find important information about our districts plan to navigate the new Kansas cell phone law that will take effect during the 2026-2027 school year.
This new law requires schools to implement policies that limit student access to cell phones and personal smart devices during the school day in order to reduce distractions, increase student engagement, and support a positive learning environment.
At Prairie View, students will be expected to power off all cell phones, smart watches, earbuds, and other personal electronic devices and store them in their assigned locker or cubby during the school day. Grade-level and building-specific expectations can be found in each building's student handbook.
We encourage all families to review the attached flyer and discuss these expectations with your child before the start of the school year. By working together, we can help ensure that students remain focused on learning and building positive relationships throughout the school day.
If you have any questions, please contact your child's school office.
Thank you for your partnership and support.
