Important Update: Arkansas Act 122 (“Bell to Bell, No Cell” – effective 2025‑26)
Starting with the 2025–2026 school year, all public school students in Arkansas are required by state law to follow a “Bell to Bell, No Cell” policy.

What this means:
No use of personal electronic devices (phones, smartwatches, earbuds, tablets, laptops, etc.) is allowed from the first bell to the last, across all school areas—classrooms, hallways, cafeteria, restrooms, and more .

Why it matters:
Act 122 aims to reduce distractions and foster a more focused, academic environment during school hours.
