📵 No Personal Electronics or Device Use Policy

In alignment with District 13, PS 20 is committed to optimizing our school learning environments for all students. To ensure that we are maximizing our instructional time and supporting all students’ interpersonal development, we have a schoolwide personal electronics-free policy. We believe in the importance of fostering meaningful interpersonal interactions, encouraging play, and cultivating moments of joy throughout the school day. These values help support the overall well-being and development of our students. In order to support the academic and social-emotional growth of all students, it is important that we eliminate the distraction that can come from having access to personal devices in school. PS 20, in alignment with NYC Public Schools’ guidelines, will enforce a No Cell Phone and Personal Device Policy within our school.
