Shelby High School

Studies show that 59% of students that were distracted by cell phones scored 15 points lower on math tests. Not only did students score lower on math tests but 35% admitted to cheating their way through tests. We hope that having students keep their phones in their lockers during class time will foster more engagement and increase learning in every classroom.

📵 New State-Wide Cell Phone Policy at Shelby High School

Beginning this school year, Shelby High School will implement Michigan's new cell phone policy designed to create a more focused and engaging learning environment for all students.

What does this mean?

✅ Students may use their cell phones before school, during passing time, and at lunch.

❌ During instructional time: cell phones must be put away and cannot be on a student's person.

This policy is intended to:

📚 Increase student engagement and academic achievement.

🤝 Reduce distractions and promote meaningful classroom interactions.

💙 Support a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment.

We understand this is a change for many students and families, and we appreciate your partnership as we work together to ensure a successful transition. By minimizing distractions, we can maximize learning opportunities for every Tiger.

Thank you for your support in helping us create the best possible educational experience for all Shelby High School students. We look forward to a fantastic school year!
