FCPS Cell Phone Policy Implementation at Edison HS:

As detailed in a letter sent to all families on August 12, 2024, Edison High School will be following the FCPS School Board Policy that was adopted at its meeting on May 9. Here are the key points:

  • Cell phones may be used on campus before the first bell, after the last bell, during passing periods, and lunches.
  • There will be cell phone storage cases in every classroom. All students shall put their phones in the cell phone storage case at the beginning of class. They will then pick it back up at the end of class.
  • Phone accessories are also to be silenced and away when phone use is prohibited. Smart watches that serve a dual purpose may be worn, but the phone features (texting, Internet viewing, and calls) are to be off when phone use is prohibited.
  • Students with a documented health or educational need through special services may have an exception. Please work through your child’s administrator if you believe an exception is needed.
  • You can find more information on FCPS’ cell phone policy webpage (for all schools) and cell phone storage webpage (for schools that are getting storage containers). Both of these webpages include a button to provide feedback. 

At Edison HS, we are dedicated to making sure all our students, staff and families feel connected and engaged. Our focus is on helping every student succeed in their learning while also supporting their social and emotional well-being.  As we implement the FCPS cell phone policy we ask for your support as we learn and apply these new practices together.

Your partnership is key to making Edison High School a place where every student can thrive. Thank you for your continued support as we work together for a great year ahead.
