Many schools are expected to ask students to keep their phones off and in their lockers or school bags throughout the day.

Other options include locked phone pouches, magnetic pouches unlocked at the end of the school day. Schools may collect phones at the start of the day and store them in the front office.

Schools can make exemptions for phone use, such as for educational purposes or to support student wellbeing.
