Cell Phone Guidance

Posted Date: 7/28/25 (3:58 PM)

Informational flyer from Center Point I.S.D. about cell phone use changes in schools with an illustrated pirate and no phone symbols.  Transcribed Text:  A new Texas Law, House Bill 1481, will take effect starting with the 2025 - 2026 School Year, and it brings important changes to how students can use cell phones during the day.  WHAT THE LAW SAYS STUDENTS MAY NOT USE PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES (CELL PHONES, TABLETS, SMARTWATCHES) DURING THE INSTRUCTIONAL DAY (BELL TO BELL), AND SCHOOLS MUST ADOPT AND ENFORCE POLICIES THAT PROHIBIT DEVICE USE DURING LEARNING TIME.  WHAT CPISD IS DOING STUDENTS AT CENTER POINT ISD MAY BRING THEIR DEVICES TO SCHOOL BUT THEY MUST BE TURNED OFF AND STORED AWAY DURING THE ENTIRE SCHOOL DAY.  We appreciate your support in providing the best learning environment for our students.  Please contact your campus principal if you have any questions.
