Graphic with image of smart phone and CCISD logo. What is Away for the Day? The goal of Away for the Day, in alignment with House Bill 1481, is to improve learning focus and support a positive, respectful school environment for all students and staff. Away for the Day means that students’ personal devices - cell phones, text-messaging devices, tablets, computers, headphones, earbuds, smart watches and other simlar electronics - must be powered off and out of sight during all parts of the school day, from the time students enter the school until they exit at the end of the day. This includes class time, transitions, breakfast or lunch on campus and restroom breaks.
