Our school continues to use Yondr Pouches to create a cell-phone free learning environment in our building. Our cell phone policy is that all cell phones are to be kept out of sight and locked inside a Yondr pouch while students are on school premises. When students arrive at school, they will place their phone in an assigned Yondr pouch, lock it, and keep it with them throughout the day. At the end of the school day, teachers will unlock students' Yondr pouch before they exit the building.
What if my child gets a cell phone later in the school year? The student must request a Yondr pouch from a teacher or staff member who will provide one for immediate use.
What if my child forgot their Yondr pouch at home? On the first occurrence, the student will be loaned a Yondr pouch that will be returned to a dean at the end of the day. Any subsequent occurrence will result in the deans confiscating the cell phone, telephoning home to inquire about the location of the pouch, and returning the cell phone at the end of the school day.
What if my child does not place their cell phone inside the Yondr pouch? The cell phone will be confiscated, held by the deans, and returned to a parent or guardian. A phone call will be made home to notify guardians of the situation.
What if the case gets damaged or lost?
The Yondr Pouch is a school issued supply similar to text books. It is free to use but the student if responsible for it's well being. If a Yondr pouch is lost or damages, families will be charged $25 for a replacement. All Yondr pouches are to be returned in good condition on the last day of the school year. If a pouch is not returned or $25 is not paid to the school, the student's report card will be withheld.
