REMINDER: Cell Phone Policy
Missouri Senate Bill 68 now requires all public schools to restrict student use of personal communication devices – including cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, and tablets – during the school day. This new law applies to all K–12 students and includes time spent in class, hallways, the cafeteria, and study halls. Click here to read HMC-1's complete Cell Phone Policy.
