📣 Important Update for Polk School District Parents & Guardians 📣

In alignment with Georgia HB 340 and HB 1009, Polk School District is committed to fostering a distraction-free learning environment where our students can focus, engage, and succeed.

To support this goal, a new policy regarding personal electronic devices will take effect at the beginning of the 2026–2027 school year. All K-12 students must keep their personal electronic devices in a designated storage area (determined by school administration) from the first bell until the last bell.

This policy includes, but is not limited to:

📱Cell phones

⌚Smartwatches

📱Tablets

🎧Earbuds & Headphones

💻 Other devices capable of wireless communication, internet access, messaging, video recording, gaming, social media access, or data transmission.

🚌 Note: This rule also applies to all students while riding school buses.

We appreciate your partnership in helping our students stay focused on their education. Please be aware that any violations of this policy will result in disciplinary action as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct.

Thank you for your continued support in making our schools a place where learning comes first! 🎓✨
