We’re taking steps to reduce digital distractions and help scholars stay focused, connected, and engaged at school.
Starting in August 2026, PSUSD will implement a new device policy during the school day as part of California’s Phone-Free School requirements.
The goal is to support stronger academic focus, student well-being, and more meaningful face-to-face connections on campus. The policy applies to cell phones and other personal electronic devices such as smart watches, earbuds, and smart glasses.
• TK–5: No personal device use during the school day, must be off and stored away at all times • 6–12: Devices off and stored during class and passing periods (okay to use at lunch)
