THS - New guidelines will be implemented for students at Thompson High School for the 2025-2026 school year.
Alabama Governor Kay Ivey signed the FOCUS Act into law in 2025. The law prohibits students from using cell phones and other wireless devices during school. This includes smart watches, earbuds, tablets & personal laptops. All Alabaster City Schools are required to follow this mandate.
Here are the new guidelines for students under the new law:
Students must power off and store devices (in a backpack or vehicle) before the school day begins.
Students on a flexible schedule or arriving/leaving campus during the day must power off devices and store them in their car or backpack before entering the building.
Devices can be turned on and used after the final dismissal bell
