Yes, this is how they’ve described the policy in school communications: https://jacksonreedhs.org/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Jackson-Reed-Cell-Phone-Policy-Implementation-Plan_8.10.25.pdf

This would be a great question to call the school and ask.

Could anyone explain how the new DCPS cell phone policy will work at Jackson-Reed for students who have off-campus privileges during lunch and asynchronous periods not at the beginning or end of the day? If they are away from the building, will their phones be available to them? Appreciate any insight. Thank you.
