Dear Parents and Guardians,
I am writing to share an important update regarding student cell phone use in our Catholic schools.
As you may be aware, the State of Kansas has enacted a new “bell-to-bell” law that will require schools to prohibit student use of personal electronic devices during the entire school day. In response, we are developing a diocesan approach that both meets this requirement and supports our mission of forming the whole person—spirit, mind, and body.
I invite you to read the full letter outlining these expectations and the vision behind them at the link below: A New Chapter for Our Schools: "Bell-to-Bell" Cell Phone Expectations.
This change represents more than a policy shift. It is an opportunity—one that calls us, as schools and families, to work together in helping our young people develop healthy habits, deepen relationships, and grow in their faith.
As always, thank you for your partnership, your trust, and your shared commitment to forming disciples of Jesus on mission.
Gratefully,
Geoff Andrews
Superintendent of Catholic Schools
Diocese of Salina
