Thompson Schools Ban Cellphones in Class | Denver News

Thompson School District kicks off its first-ever district-wide cellphone ban this year, responding to a new state law and mounting concerns about classroom distractions—though high schoolers can still use devices with teacher approval. Parents like Brittany Barron are thrilled, seeing it as a step toward deeper focus, while others worry about losing the ability to reach their kids quickly. The district promises messages can still get through via the front desk and plans to monitor enforcement consistency, adjusting as needed. Families are also pushing for direct feedback channels with the district—not just teachers—to help shape the policy’s future.
