📣 Why Are We Going Phone-Free at West Minico?
Because your student’s learning and well-being matter. 💙
📚 Research shows that constant access to phones during the school day increases anxiety, distracts from learning, and limits real connection with peers.
📖 In The Anxious Generation, Jonathan Haidt explains how too much screen time—especially social media—can interfere with healthy brain development, attention, and confidence.
At West Minico, we want students to:
✅ Focus on learning
✅ Build stronger relationships
✅ Feel less anxious and more present
This isn’t just about rules—it’s about helping students grow into healthier, happier learners and leaders.

📢 We’re Going Phone-Free at West Minico!
Starting this school year, students will be expected to keep phones and earbuds off and in lockers when students arrive at school to the end of the school day.
Why the change? Because we believe students learn best when they’re present, focused, and connected to each other—not their screens.
If you missed the full message about this policy change, scroll back a few posts or visit our page. We’ll be sharing more details and answering common questions over the next few weeks.
💙 Let's help our students Focus Like Warriors!
