Fri, 29 May 2026 16:53:29 GMT

Dear Lancers, I hope your summer break is off to a great start! Today, I’m writing with an update about the cell phone ban law passed by the Kansas Legislature in March. When this law takes effect in July, it will prohibit students from having or using their cell phones and other personal communication devices during the school day, including during lunch. We understand that this will be a big change for many people. That’s why our district is already working hard to plan for the smoothest transition possible for staff and students. Our Board of Education will be approving a new policy to support this mandate. We’ve set up a Frequently Asked Questions page on our website with some basic information about the new law and how it will be implemented at Crest. You can visit it here: apzr.co/Rk6 You can expect an update from the district in early August, and you are welcome to check the FAQs for additional details that may be added over summer break. Thank you in advance for your partnership and patience in the months ahead. If you have questions, please reach out at 620-852-3540. Working together, we can create the best possible learning environment for students. Thank you again for your support — and please enjoy your summer! Sincerely, Shane Walter Superintendent Crest USD 479 “It’s a Great Day to be a Lancer!”
