Posted on 08/07/2026
Away for the dayAs a reminder, beginning with the 2026-27 school year, DJUSD is implementing our updated "Away for the Day" mobile device policy. Students are expected to turn off and store personal mobile devices - including cell phones, smartwatches and earbuds - for the entire school day.

The policy is designed to reduce distractions, support student well-being and encourage greater engagement in learning and face-to-face interactions. For school-specific implementation details, please review your school’s student handbook.
