The West Linn-Wilsonville School District invites interested community members to participate in upcoming information and input sessions regarding the Governor’s recent Executive Order on cell phones and student devices. Please find meeting information, including links to join these online sessions, below.

 

The district will hold three information and input sessions on the following dates and times. These meetings will be virtual and are open to the entire West Linn-Wilsonville community. These sessions will include information about all grade levels with an emphasis on high school.

• July 30, 6 p.m.
• August 1, 10 a.m.

The Governor’s Executive Order requires that all “personal electronic devices” that are capable of making and receiving calls and text messages (excluding laptops) must be stored and away during the school day while students are on campus. This includes during class time, restrooms and passing between class periods. Students may access their cell phones and devices once they leave school grounds, including the school bus on the way home from school. At the high school level, students may use cell phones and devices during the lunch period if they are off school grounds.

 

West Linn-Wilsonville School District will be implementing this new regulation at the start of this 2025-2026 school year (August 26). Input from the online information sessions and guidance from the Oregon Department of Education will help inform the District’s next steps.
