Recently, Governor DeWine, Lt. Governor Jon Husted, and Department of Education and Workforce Director Stephen D. Dackin announced the publication of a model policy designed to minimize student use of cell phones during school hours. This model policy prohibits or discourages students from using cell phones or similar electronic communication devices on school property during school hours. Students must keep their cell phones in a secure place such as their locker, a closed backpack, or a storage device provided by the district, whenever cell phone use is prohibited.
Exceptions to the policy include cases when students must use their cell phones for a documented purpose as part of an Individualized Education Program (IEP) or for monitoring a health concern.
The Department created the model cell phone policy as part of the requirements of House Bill 250, recently signed into law by Governor DeWine. H.B. 250 mandates every school district in the state to establish an official policy governing cell phone usage and emphasizes limiting cell phones to the greatest extent possible by July 1, 2025.
We are communicating this information with you now to begin changing the mindset of students and families. Recent research shows that students are more engaged in their learning when they are not tempted by their devices. Far too many students are focused on engaging with peers which often results in various school issues. We want to partner with you to help students use their time wisely and support their intellectual growth.
School districts have the option to adopt the Department’s model policy or create their own policy, provided it meets all the requirements within H.B. 250. Wayne High School, and Huber Heights City Schools, will be engaging with the school community during the year to gather feedback on this important topic. We will communicate the adopted cell phone policy once finalized. Until then, we ask that students follow their classroom teacher’s expectations regarding cell phone use.
Thank you for your cooperation and support.

Huber Heights City Schools will be on the May 6 ballot with a 6.9-mill operating levy. To help families and community members better understand school finance and levies, we’ve created a dedicated webpage containing important facts and resources.
Visit myhhcs.org/levy to learn more.
STATE TESTING DATES
We use different ways to measure how well students are learning, and one of those is through standardized tests. Below, you will find the state testing schedule for each building, subject, and grade level.
Students will stick to their regular school schedule during testing unless otherwise noted.
Elementary Testing Schedule: April 1 - May 9
Junior High Testing Schedule: April 8 - May 9
High School Testing Schedule: April 14 - May 2
How You Can Help Your Child Feel Confident and Calm During Testing:
- Encourage plenty of rest. A good night’s sleep (8 or 9 hours if possible) helps your child stay focused and perform their best.
- Ensure they arrive at school on time.
- Make sure they eat a healthy breakfast. A nutritious meal fuels their energy and concentration. FREE breakfast is available to students on testing days. Breakfast start times vary by school; check with your child's building for details.
- Offer lots of positive encouragement. Keep the pressure low, and remind your child that doing their best is what matters most.
Your support and encouragement can make all the difference in how your child approaches testing. With your help, they can feel confident and ready to do their best.

Huber Heights City Schools has been working with Cropper GIS, a national expert in redistricting, and a group of parents, educators, and community members on a year-long project to improve balance, equity, and efficiency in our elementary schools.
On Thursday, December 12, our Superintendent, Mr. Enix, recommended that the Board of Education approve a plan containing minimal changes to the current district map, while slightly improving transportation efficiency. The Board approved this plan during their January 9 meeting. It will go into effect for the 2025-2026 school year.
While the goal of balancing school usage wasn’t fully met in the approved plan, it was determined that the first two options did not provide a compelling reason to justify the significant disruptions they would cause to students, families, and staff.
Visit tinyurl.com/3wabfjeh to learn more about the project and view the approved plan.
Thank you for your support and participation!
Huber Heights City Schools is excited to announce the creation of a Military Service Wall of Honor at Wayne High School! This special tribute will recognize the dedication and sacrifices of Wayne graduates from any branch of service who are currently serving or have served, provided they were not dishonorably discharged.
To make this project successful, we need your help identifying former students who should be included on the wall. We invite WHS alums or their family members to submit details about their military service by visiting tinyurl.com/WHSMilitaryAlumni. All submissions received by March 1, 2025, will be featured on the wall, which will be unveiled in April 2025.
In addition to details about their service, alums can share personal stories and photos, which will also be included in a virtual wall display on our website.
We invite everyone to help us honor our military alums and spread the word about this special tribute. For questions or to learn how you can support this initiative, please contact Jenn Davis at JenniferNDavis@myhhcs.org.
