Many states are limiting how and when kids can use their phones during the school day.

Teachers say this helps students pay attention and reduces classroom interruptions.

Some students and parents are adjusting to the changes, with students learning new routines.

Parents want to be able to communicate with their kids and receive important safety updates.
