In April 2025, a new Virginia State Law was passed restricting the use of all personal student technology for all students, except for those with documented accommodations, during the school day. This means any personal electronic device that can connect to the Internet and wirelessly collect, process and transmit data, including smart watches and tablets. Policy 8655: Student Personal Device Use has been updated to reflect this new law. Moving forward, from “bell-to-bell” – after the first bell rings at the start of the school day until the dismissal bell rings – all devices not issued by LCPS will be off and away. That includes lunch and time in between classes. Students may still use phones and other devices before and after school, and on the bus. Students should place their devices in a secure location as instructed or leave them at home.

If students need to contact their parents for an important reason, they can visit the school office. We appreciate the understanding and cooperation of our LCPS families in adhering to these new policies. For FAQs, please visit our website: lcps.org/8655
