Dumas High School

What the law requires: Under the Bell-to-Bell No Cell Act: • Students are prohibited from using or having access to personal electronic devices, including cell phones and smart watches during the school day, from the first bell to the last bell. • This includes classrooms, hallways, restrooms, cafeterias and other school spaces during instructional hours. • Exemptions for health reasons, Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), after school extracurricular activities and emergencies will be honored with appropriate documentation and school approval. • Each public-school district will be required to publish its cell phone policy on its website. Dumas School District’s Approach: • Students must store phones upon arrival. • Phone use will not be permitted between classes or during lunch. • If a student violates the policy, the electronic device will be confiscated and a parent or guardian may be required to retrieve the device. • Repeated violations may lead to additional consequences as outlined in policy. Staying Connected We understand the importance of staying connected. If you need to reach your child during the school day, please contact the school office. The policy will be published in our handbook as well as on the district website. We appreciate your support as we implement this change in accordance with Arkansas state law. Together, we can create a learning environment where every student is focused, safe and ready to succeed.
