💙 Make a Difference Every Day at MCE!

New Policy: Cell Phones, Smartwatches, and Wireless Earbuds Prohibited During the School Day
Effective 2025-26 School Year

MCE Families,

As outlined in the letter from Superintendent Dr. Brian White, starting with the 2025–2026 school year, students will no longer be allowed to use or display the following during the school day:

📱 Cell phones

⌚ Smartwatches

🎧 Wireless earbuds

This new policy is a direct response to Missouri Senate Bill 68, which requires all public and charter schools to limit student access to personal electronic communication devices during instructional hours.

Policy Highlights:

1. Devices must be stored out of sight (e.g., in a backpack) or left at home.

2. Usage will be prohibited during class, lunch, passing time, and recess. Unauthorized use will result in disciplinary consequences as outlined in the student code of conduct.

3. Students with medical or documented support needs (IEP/504) may qualify for exemptions. Please reach out to the office to discuss accommodations.

We recognize this may be a change for some families, but the goal is to reduce distractions and support student focus, safety, and well-being.

Thank you for your support as we implement this new state requirement.

📣 Important Enrollment Reminder!

Parents — Don’t miss out! 📬 In order for your child to receive their Welcome Letter from their teacher, enrollment must be fully completed by 8:00 PM on Tuesday, July 30th.

✅ Why it matters: Welcome Letters will be sent via email on Friday, August 1st — and only to students whose enrollment is fully completed by the deadline.

💻 Need help with enrollment? We’ve got you covered! Staff will be available at MCE on Wednesday, July 30th from 12:00 PM to 8:00 PM with devices and support to assist you in getting it done.

📄 Reminder: Be sure to bring all necessary information and documentation to complete the process.

Let’s start the school year off strong and connected! 💙📚
