Important Notice: Updated Electronic Device Policy for the 2025–2026 School Year
Dear Parents and Guardians,
As we prepare for the start of the new school year, Newburg United School would like to ensure that all students and families are informed of important changes to our Electronic Device Policy, effective immediately.
In compliance with the new North Dakota state law prohibiting the use of personal electronic devices in classrooms, Newburg United School has revised its policies and consequences accordingly.
Policy Overview:
Effective this school year, the following personal electronic devices are prohibited in all classrooms: (Common examples)
Cell phones
Smartwatches
Wireless earbuds (e.g., AirPods)
Electronic games
Personal laptops or computers
The only electronic devices permitted during school hours will be school-issued Chromebooks and classroom iPads.
Please note: If a classroom supply list includes headphones, they must be wired. Bluetooth-connected earbuds or wireless headphones are not allowed.
Cell Phone Storage:
At the start of each school day, students are required to place their cell phones in their assigned classroom storage container, which will be located in a designated teacher’s classroom.
Consequences for Policy Violations:
Any student found in possession of a prohibited device during the school day will have the device confiscated.
The student will receive in-school suspension for the remainder of the day for each violation.
During the suspension period, the student will be ineligible for all extracurricular activities for a full calendar week.
Parents or guardians must pick up the confiscated device from the school office following the first violation.
We ask that all families review these updated expectations with their students prior to the start of the school year to ensure full understanding and compliance. Our goal is to support a focused and distraction-free learning environment for all students.
Thank you for your attention to this matter and for your continued cooperation.
Sincerely,
Newburg United School Administration
