Myra S. Barnes Intermediate School 24 Home

As required by state law, smartphones and personal devices must be stored during the school day, but families can still reach their children if needed! Your school will provide at least one way for families to contact students in an emergency. Students can still use their devices when traveling to and from school.

At @NYCSchools, we’re keeping smartphones away during the school day, as required by state law. This helps students stay engaged, reduces distractions, and creates a learning environment where everyone can succeed.

Starting in the 2025-26 school year, personal internet-enabled devices-like smartphones, tablets, and smart watches -cannot be used during
the school day, as required by state law.

This change helps reduce distractions and encourages deeper participation in class, so
students can stay engaged from bell to bell.

Students can use their devices when traveling to and from school, but they must have them turned
off and stored during the school day.
