Chambersburg Area School District students in grades six through 12 will follow a “bell-to-bell” cell phone policy beginning with the 2026-27 school year.
Under the policy, students will not have access to personal cell phones or other communication devices from the beginning of the first class block through the end of the school day.
The district said the policy is intended to reduce distractions, improve student focus and encourage in-person interactions.
Parents and guardians who need to contact their child during the school day may call the student’s school.
