Montgomery County Bans Phones in Class | Washington DC News

Montgomery County Public Schools is launching a bold new policy this fall: a full bell-to-bell cellphone ban starting August 25th, requiring all students—from kindergarten to senior year—to put away their devices for the entire school day. Designed to slash distractions and boost focus, the rule follows successful pilot programs and aligns with Maryland’s new state law. Schools are still finalizing storage options like classroom holders or secure pouches, with updated guidelines set to arrive in August. Get ready for a quieter, more focused school experience come fall.
