The safety of our young people is our top priority, and we know the safest place for them is in school.
Ahead of the first day of school next week, we encourage families to talk with their child about steps they should take to stay safe on their way to and from school.

Piloting a phone-free program in our middle schools since School Year (SY) 2022-23 has demonstrated to us the clear benefits of storing students' personal devices during the school day.
For SY 2025-26, DCPS will implement a district-wide phone policy: dcps.dc.gov/cellphones 📴
