Johnston County Public Schools is committed to providing quality education to its students and professional learning environments for its staff, free of distractions, and supporting high-quality teaching and learning, enhancing student well-being, and maintaining a safe and focused school environment.

Recent studies indicate that cell phone use, particularly for social media and interaction, can interfere with students' ability to focus on learning and negatively impact students in many ways. Excessive use of cell phones and social media has been linked to lower academic performance, increased behavioral issues, and other conditions that hinder students' ability to excel.

In recent legislation, House Bill 959, Session Law 2025-38, revisions were made addressing clear guidelines for the use of cell phones to include educational purposes. The Johnston County Board of Education has adopted Policy Code: 4318 Use of Wireless Communication Devices.

Families are strongly encouraged to review the policy in its entirety.

It’s the last week of school, and we wrapped it up with a bang! This week included Awards Ceremonies, 3rd–5th Field Day, and student celebrations with Pelican Snoballs or Sunset Slush to reward all their hard work. Our 5th graders also enjoyed a special Water Day! We’ve had a wonderful year, and we’re so proud of our students. Wishing everyone a safe and fun Summer Break! Go Bulldogs!
