which middle schools have phone bans?

[Anonymous]

Spinning off the GDS thread, I was wondering if we could compile a list of middle schools that have or are on the verge of banning phones. I have a rising 5th grader and will soon be looking at schools for next year and given my older child's experience of middle school i would LOVE to have a phone-free middle school this time around.

At Field, MS kids must turn in their cell phones and smartwatches each morning and pick them up at the end of the school day.

Edmund Burke requires them to be turned into the division head's office each morning.

I think the majority of them do for MS. Might be easier to ask which don’t.

But our personal experience - Congressional and SSSAS do.

Our Catholic k-8 in Arlington is phone free. I’d be surprised if any of the Catholic schools allowed phones.

The Sycamore School in Arlington. They get checked into a...holding cell. Can use during lunch and between classes but only in the open while being watched.
