Frenchtown schools strengthen cell phone policies to enhance classroom focus

Frenchtown Schools are implementing stricter enforcement of cell phone policies this school year, formalizing rules that were previously in place but not clearly outlined in student handbooks.

The enhanced emphasis on limiting cell phone use is centered on improving student focus inside classrooms as the district begins the 2025 school year.

"We've always had a cell phone policy; now we've made some changes and some additions to the policy into the handbook," said Frenchtown Schools Superintendent Les Meyer.

The updated policies affect the Frenchtown elementary, middle and high schools, with varying restrictions by grade level.
