Better focus. Real friendships. Academic success. It starts with phone-free schools. <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

We all want what’s best for our children.<\/strong> We want them to succeed academically, develop healthy relationships, and build the skills they need for a bright future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The research is clear:<\/strong> phone-free schools give students an extra hour of learning daily, reduce bullying, and create space for authentic peer connections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Phones are designed to distract\u2014kids deserve classrooms designed for learning.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Schools across the country, and in Colorado, are adopting “bell-to-bell” phone-free policies with remarkable results: students report less anxiety, teachers see improved engagement, and academic performance improves. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Colorado has an opportunity right now.<\/em><\/strong> New legislation requires<\/a> every district to develop cell phone policies for schools. This is our moment to ensure those policies prioritize student wellbeing and academic success. Will you join us in advocating for phone-free schools across Colorado?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
