Fairfax County’s new middle school policy reads: “All electronic devices to include, but not limited to, phones, smartwatches, airpods, tablets, etc., must be powered off and kept away for the duration of the school day in student-assigned lockers.”
The policy allows for the use of the devices on school grounds before the morning bell and after the dismissal bell. It also specifies: “The use of social media, taking/posting pictures, playing games and other technology features are not allowed during the school day.”
