Mobile phones have changed day-to-day life for almost everyone in the country in the past 30 years, and the rise of the smartphone in the latter part of that period has been a major disruptor in society, especially within schools.
We believe that these devices can be disruptive to otherwise calm and structured learning environments, and the phone-free policy is the best way for students to meet their goal of graduation.
We have implemented the use of Yondr pouches for safe stow away of cellular devices while at school. Student place their phones, ear buds, and other cellular devices in the pouch while on campus and the pouch is unlocked at the end of the session.
