Taconic Hills Central School District

At its August 27, 2025 meeting, the Taconic Hills Board of Education adopted Policy 5695: Students and Personal Electronic Devices, following thoughtful review and consideration.

This policy fulfills New York State’s “bell-to-bell” restriction on personal internet-enabled electronic devices under the More Learning, Less Scrolling: Creating Distraction-Free Schools initiative. It clearly outlines student expectations regarding use of personal electronics during the school day, as well as the consequences for any violations.

We kindly ask all families to review this policy with your child to ensure understanding and cooperation. Administrators and faculty will consistently enforce the policy to maintain a focused, respectful, and productive learning environment.

Thank you for placing your child’s education first and partnering with us to help ensure their success.
