Dear AESD Families,

I hope this message finds you well.

Here are the latest updates and news from our district:

AESD Mobile Device Policy Effective March 31, 2025
To support a focused and engaging learning environment, Board Policy 5131.8—which was adopted in January—will officially take effect at all AESD schools beginning on March 31, 2025. This policy ensures that students keep their mobile devices in their backpacks and refrain from using them during school hours. Your school's principal will be sharing more details soon, so please stay tuned for further updates. Thank you for your support in creating a positive and distraction-free learning experience for our students. Please note, devices are not permitted on AESD school buses, as they are considered an extension of the classroom. This policy applies to field trips and transportation to and from school.
