π΅ OFF AND AWAY: Focused Today. Prepared for Tomorrow.π§‘π€
Jackson Public Schools is committed to creating focused learning environments where students can be fully engaged throughout the school day.
Beginning with the 2026β2027 school year, Michigan law requires public school districts to implement a wireless communications device policy that prohibits student use of wireless communication devices during instructional time. Districts may also adopt additional restrictions.
In response to this requirement, JPS will implement our districtwide Off and Away expectations across elementary, middle, and high schools. Cell phones, earbuds, and headphones should be turned off and stored away from the first bell until dismissal, including during instructional time, hallways, and lunch.
Please review the flyer for school-specific information, contact numbers, exceptions, and additional details.
Thank you to our students, families, and staff for helping us reduce distractions and keep the focus on learning.
π§‘π€ ALL IN FOR JPS! π§‘π€
