    Dear P.S. 251 Families,

    We want to inform you about a new law that has recently taken effect regarding student use of electronic devices in schools. As part of this change, students will no longer be permitted to bring or use personal electronics during school hours.

    This law is designed to support a more focused and distraction-free learning environment for all students.

    To help you better understand this new rule, we encourage you to watch the following video, which explains the law in greater detail:
