STUDENT DEVICE POLICY & GUIDELINES

Personal devices are not to be used during school hours, 7:45 am until 3:30 pm. Every student will be assigned a personal Yondr pouch. While the Yondr pouch is considered school property, it is each student’s responsibility to bring his/her pouch to school every day and keep it in good working condition. 

DAILY PROCESS

As students arrive to school, each student will: 

1. Turn off all devices (phones, smartwatches, headphones, and earbuds) upon entering the building. (For the rest of this document, “devices” will refer to phones, smartwatches, headphones, and earbuds)

2. Place all devices inside the pouch, secure it, and be prepared for the first-period Yondr check. After the first period check, Yondr pouches are stored in a backpack for the remainder of the day. 

As students leave for the day, each student will:

1. Unlock the pouch at the designated unlocking stations. 

2. Retrieve any stored devices and reseal the empty pouch.

3. Store the empty pouch in his/her backpack until the next day. 

*Students arriving late or leaving early will pouch/unpouch their phones in the EBHS Front Office. 

*Students are not allowed to have Blue Tooth enabled Head Phones/Air Pods in EBHS classrooms, hallways, or facilities during the hours of 7:45 am- 3:30 pm.
