Using The Commons

What about visitor, teacher, and school staff phones?

Clarifies who is affected by The Commons and how the app activates on campus.

Last updated on 01 Oct, 2026

Only phones that have The Commons app installed and connected to a participating school will use that school’s School Mode settings.

Visitor, teacher, and staff phones that do not have the app installed will not be affected — their devices will function as usual.

The Commons is designed specifically to support student phone use during the school day, without interfering with other devices on campus.
