Starting this school year, all Texas public schools—including Cuero ISD—are required by House Bill 1481 to prohibit student use of personal communication devices (like cell phones and smartwatches) during the school day while on school property.
This change is designed to support student focus, reduce distractions, and create a healthier learning environment. 📚✨
🔹 Devices must be turned off and stored away during school hours
🔹 Violations may result in disciplinary action, as outlined in the Student Code of Conduct
🔹 Exceptions may apply for instructional use under teacher supervision (BYOD programs)
We know this is a big shift, and we’re committed to working with families to make the transition smooth and supportive. 💬 If you have questions or concerns, please reach out to your campus administrator or visit our website for full policy details.
Let’s work together to help our students thrive—distraction-free and fully engaged. 💙🐾 #CueroStrong #HB1481 #FocusOnLearning
