π± Beginning this fall, Harper Creek Community Schools is implementing new expectations for student wireless communication devices during the school day, in accordance with a new Michigan law passed in 2026. ππ€
Hereβs what families and students need to know:
π« Elementary School: Students are encouraged to leave devices at home. If brought to school, devices must be turned off and kept in backpacks.
π Middle School: Devices must be stored in lockers during the school day.
π High School: Devices must be stored in lockers during the school day.
Exceptions will be made when a device is medically necessary or required as part of a Section 504 Plan or IEP.
Our goal is simple: phones away, focus on learning, and safety always.
Parents and guardians can still reach their students when needed by contacting the school office.
Please take a few minutes to review these expectations with your student before the school year begins. If you have questions, contact your studentβs school or visit harpercreek.net for additional district information.
