Starting in the 2025–26 school year, Weatherford ISD will follow House Bill 1481, a new Texas law that prohibits students from using personal electronic communication devices during the entire school day.
Devices include (but are not limited to):
• Cell phones
• Smartwatches
• Tablets
• Bluetooth earbuds or headphones
• Any device used to call, text, or message
Use of these devices will not be allowed during class time, transitions, or lunch. Students will be required to power devices off and keep them stored in backpacks or lockers throughout the day.
We appreciate your support as we put student focus first and continue to make positive strides in the school learning environment.
