DCPS Seeks Public Input on a Proposed Update to our Cell Phone Policy
Dorchester County Public Schools invites students, parents, teachers, and community members to provide feedback on a proposed update to our cell phone policy aimed at improving the learning environment in schools.
Over the past year, the district conducted a pilot program in select schools to test various approaches to cell phone use during the school day. The pilot provided valuable insights into what was needed to update the current policy.
THE DRAFTED POLICY https://5il.co/3lzgo outlines guidelines for cell phone use during school hours as well as consequences for misuse. The district hopes the policy will help minimize distractions in the classroom.
The district is requesting your input about the changes by August 15, 2025. Community members can submit their feedback via email to Nancy Harrington at harringtonn@dcpsmd.org.

XYLOVI Hive was bouncing with excitement as they travelled to Altitude Trampoline Park on Friday. XYLOVI was announced as the winning Hive during our final Hive Celebration on May 16th. It was close this year, but XYLOVI pulled off the win by earning more Bee Bucks than any other Hive this school year. Keep SWARMing, Bees! 🐝💜
