The Tech Time Review Family Survey is now open
This is an important opportunity for families to share their experiences, questions, concerns, and recommendations about student technology use during the school day. Survey responses will be considered alongside student and staff input, the district’s technology-use audit, research, and community forum discussions.
The survey will remain open through Sunday, October 11, and the findings will be reviewed during the Tuesday, October 20, community forum. It should take about 10 minutes to complete. The findings become more useful when we hear from a broad range of families, so please complete the survey and encourage other VUSD families to take it as well.

NO Cell Phones Policy
As part of our dual obligation to educate students and ensure their safety when at school, Vista Unified has continued its cell phone policies for the 2026-27 school year. Elementary and middle school students will be prohibited from using personal electronic devices, such as cell phones and smartwatches, while on school campus. Students in grades TK-8th grade will be required to turn off all personal devices and store them away in their backpacks while on campus.
