Southfield Public Schools

📱District Update🚨

Michigan has enacted a new law requiring public school districts to prohibit student use of personal communication devices during instructional time beginning with the 2026-2027 school year.

In accordance with the new state requirement, Southfield Public Schools will be Personal Device-Free During Instructional Time. Cell phones, iPads, tablets, and related accessories must be stored in lockers or backpacks during instructional time.

This change will help us:

✔️Protect instructional time
✔️Reduce classroom distractions
✔️Increase student focus and engagement
✔️Strengthen face-to-face connections
✔️Support student well-being

We are asking our families to partner with us by discussing these expectations with their children before the start of school.

Less distraction. More engagement. Greater focus on learning.

Southfield Public Schools and Adler Elementary School had the honor and privilege of hosting Governor Gretchen Whitmer for the signing of the 2027 School Aid Fund Bill.

This monumental legislation establishes a record minimum per student ($10,300), continues the statewide free breakfast and lunch programs, implements a weighted funding formula, and includes comprehensive investments in expanding pre-K programs and funding dedicated to the science of reading.

Our Superintendent, Dr. Jennifer Green, and Adler Elementary School Principal Alma Deane, spoke to the audience about the value and importance of the legislation within the bill, and the lasting impact it will have on current students and future students and educators.

We are steadfast in our dedication to positioning our scholars for success.

We are honored for our students, educators, staff, and community to be a part of this historic event.
