Beginning with the 2025–26 school year, Missouri Senate Bill 68 requires all public schools to limit student use of Electronic Personal Communication Devices (EPCDs) such as phones, earbuds, smartwatches, and similar devices during the school day, from the first bell to dismissal.
At Farmington R-7, we support this change. Research shows that fewer distractions mean stronger learning, better focus, and improved student wellness.
What to Know:
✅ EPCDs will not be allowed during class, lunch, recess, passing periods, or study halls.
✅ Students can use devices during emergencies (with guidance to come).
✅ Parents—call the school if you need to reach your child.
✅ Students in Grades 5–12 will continue to get messages from staff through the Rooms app on their Chromebooks.
More Information To Come!
Building leaders will send letters with more details before school starts.
Please contact our offices with questions. (573) 701-1300
