A quick message from Mr. Tedesco on the ESC Jr/Sr High Cell Phone Policy Update for new school year.
In accordance with Iowa House File 782 and the adoption of the 2025-26 student handbook by the East Sac County School Board, East Sac County has updated the student cell phone policy in an effort to support focused learning, mental health of students, and personal growth. Cell phones and smartwatches or other electronic communication devices are not allowed during the school day (8:15 AM–3:15 PM). Phones must be turned off and put away. Reducing screen time helps students stay engaged, improve their academic performance, builds real-world in person communication, and problem-solving skills.
Headphones/earbuds are only allowed when approved by a teacher and connected to their computer for classwork.
Need to contact your student during the school day? Please call the school office at 712-665-5001 or email the office secretary bpierce@eastsac.k12.ia.us or the Mr. Tedesco ttedesco@eastasc.k12.ia.us.
The letter with this post, about the cell phone policy, that includes more details, will also be sent home through JMC.
Thanks for helping us create a safe, focused environment that supports student success, both in school and in life!

Check out one of our newly updated classrooms at the ESC High School!!!
Our maintenance and custodial crew has been very hard at work this summer cleaning, painting, and preparing for the school year!

With some paint and carpet in RAIDER themed colors, we were able to transform our learning spaces into modern classrooms with a touch of school spirit.
Check out these after/before photos from the renovation and stay tuned for additional posts as we showcase our summer improvements for the new school year!!
