Missouri Senate Bill 68 now requires all public schools to restrict student use of personal electronic devices from the first bell to the last bell (7:30 a.m. – 3:45 p.m.).
Our school previously allowed phones at lunch, but to comply with the new law, no phones, smartwatches, earbuds, or similar devices will be allowed during class, lunch, breaks, or passing periods.
All devices must be turned off and stored away for the entire school day.
Parents, please discuss this change with your child and help them prepare for a successful adjustment. If you need to contact your child during the school day, call the school office:
Central Elementary: 417-476-2255
Middle/High School: 417-476-2515
Thank you for your understanding and support as we follow this state requirement.
