As part of Stratford Public Schools' commitment to creating a positive learning environment, an update has been adopted regarding the Cell Phone/Electronic Devices Policy , which was approved by the Board of Education at their June 23, 2025 meeting. This policy establishes clear guidelines for student use of cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, headphones, and other wireless devices at school.

The complete policy is linked above for your reference. Below you'll find a summary of the key points that affect your student. We encourage you to review this information with your child to ensure they understand the expectations.

In addition, there is a short video here which summarizes the new policy nicely.
