Student Personal Device Storage

The Yondr Pouch is a secure bag that is used to store an individual’s mobile device or devices. It is secured and unlocked with a special magnetic locking device.

As students enter school, they place their phone in their assigned Yondr Pouch. Students close and secure their Pouch, keeping it on them throughout the day. When leaving school, students tap their Pouch on a Base to retrieve their phone. 

The Yondr pouches will be distributed to all students 9-12 at Rondout Valley High School.

Students in Grades 9-12 must have their personal electronic devices turned off or silenced and stored in a district-provided Yondr pouch starting on the first day of school, September 4th. Students are responsible for the Yondr pouch at all times and for bringing the pouch to and from school each day and keeping them in good condition.

We understand that this change may cause some anxiety, and we’re committed to making the transition as smooth as possible by ensuring students receive their Yondr pouch before the first day of school. Students will be able to pick up their Yondr pouch during the times below. During pickup, students may also collect a printed copy of their class schedule.

Location: HS Welcome Center

Make-Up Pick-Up Day (Grades 9–12)

Tuesday, September 2

• 1:00–3:00 PM
• 5:00–7:00 PM

Any students who did not receive a pouch before the first day of classes (Thursday, September 4) must report to the AP office before going to their first-period class to receive one. School counselors will also be present in the hallways that morning to support students during the transition. Seniors that have late arrival on their schedules will receive their Yondr pouch in the AP office when they enter the building. AM BOCES students will report to the AP office upon returning to campus to pick up their Yondr before going to their 6th period class.

Arrival: Students must power off/silence personal devices and lock them in their Yondr pouch before entering the building.

To keep arrival efficient, students will be expected to:

• Power off/silence devices
• Self-lock their pouch as they enter the building
• Hold their pouch upside down to show it is securely locked, allowing staff to verify quickly
• Bus riders will enter through the athletic entrance
• Student drivers and drop-offs will enter through the Welcome Center

Staff will be stationed at both entrances to ensure all pouches are securely locked before students proceed to class.

Dismissal: At the end of the school day, students will unlock their pouches at one of the designated magnetic unlocking stations located in the building before leaving campus.
 

Students will unlock their pouches on their own by visiting one of the magnetic unlocking stations located throughout the building. These stations will be:

• Mounted on the wall in the Welcome Center
• Mounted in the athletic entrance hallway
• Mounted in the athletic vestibule
• We will also have an external unlocking station outside the building for PM BOCES students and for any student who forgets to unlock their pouch after leaving the building.

Yondr recommends one unlocking base per 100 students. With approximately 570 students in the building, we are installing over 10 unlocking magnets to ensure a smooth and efficient dismissal process.

The end of the school day is 2:22 PM. Students will have sufficient time after dismissal to unlock their pouches before boarding the bus or leaving campus. If a student has early dismissal for any reason, they can unlock their pouch in the Welcome Center as they exit the building.

No, students will keep their pouch for the remainder of the school year. Students are responsible for the Yondr pouch at all times and for bringing the pouch to and from school each day and keeping them in good condition.

Students who attend PM BOCES CTE classes will be able to unlock their devices before boarding the BOCES bus. A designated unlocking station will be located outside the back gym, allowing for a quick and convenient transition.

Yes. Phones never leave the possession of the students. Students keep their phones with them at all times. The Yondr pouch is designed to securely store the device while preventing access during the school day. That said, according to District policy, students are strongly discouraged from bringing internet-enabled personal electronic devices to school. The District is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal devices that are brought to school.

Yes. Students may only use wired headphones to connect to their school-issued Chromebook during their free periods, such as study halls or lunch. All Bluetooth-enabled devices, including AirPods, wireless headphones, and smartwatches, must be stored in the Yondr pouch throughout the school day.

Please note: YouTube is no longer accessible on student Chromebooks, as it is not compliant with Education Law 2-D.

If a student is leaving early for an approved dismissal, medical emergency, athletic event, or other school-sponsored activity, they will be able to unlock their device at the Welcome Center just before leaving.

We understand that staying connected with your child is important, and we ask that communication during the school day be limited to urgent matters only.

• To contact your child, please call the main office at 845-687-2400 ext. 4201 or 4202, or the Assistant Principal’s office at ext. 4207. Our staff will ensure that urgent messages are delivered promptly. To minimize disruptions, calls will not be transferred directly to classrooms.
• If a student needs to contact a parent or guardian, a phone will be available in both the Assistant Principal’s Office and the Counseling Office, no questions asked.
• In the event of a school-wide emergency, the district will use its established communication systems to provide timely and accurate updates. To ensure you receive these messages, please make sure we have your most up-to-date contact information. If your phone number or email address has changed, please email Randi Chase at rchase@rondout.k12.ny.us [Include your child’s full name, date of birth, and your updated phone number(s) and preferred email address].

Please remember:

• Students will have access to their devices before and after school.
• If needed, a pouch can be unlocked by an administrator during the school day.

The safety of our students and staff is our top priority. In the event of an emergency, we follow well-established emergency preparedness protocols, and our staff is trained regularly in how to respond to a wide range of scenarios.

Every classroom and office is equipped with a phone that can dial 911 directly, simply by dialing 911. In an emergency, students will follow the directions of staff and school administrators, who will prioritize getting everyone to safety. Families will be kept informed through the district’s mass notification and communication systems, which are designed to deliver timely and accurate updates.

It’s important to note that during lockdowns, students and staff are instructed to remain silent. According to law enforcement and school safety experts, student use of cell phones during emergencies can negatively impact safety by:

• Drawing attention with sounds or vibrations, even when silenced
• Distracting students from listening to adult directions
• Overloading cell networks and interfering with emergency response
• Spreading unverified or false information that can cause panic, confusion, or disruption of emergency procedures

For these reasons, emergency responders strongly recommend that students not have immediate access to cell phones during such situations. In the event of an evacuation, unlocking stations will be available at the reunification site so students can access their phones. Additionally, building administrators carry mobile emergency kits that include unlocking devices and can be deployed quickly if needed.
 

If a student forgets or does not have their Yondr pouch, they will be required to turn over their device(s) to a staff member upon entering the building. The device(s) will be sealed in a labeled envelope and stored securely in the Assistant Principal’s office safe. A call will be made home to remind families of the student’s responsibility. At the end of the school day, students will retrieve their device(s) from the AP office.

If a student repeatedly forgets their pouch, it will be considered lost. A replacement fee of $30 will be charged. Until the replacement pouch arrives, the student must report to the AP office daily before 1st period to turn in their device(s), which will be stored securely and returned at the end of each school day for up to 30 school days.

If a student intentionally damages their school-issued pouch, the student will be charged $30 for a replacement pouch. Until the replacement pouch arrives, the student must report to the AP office daily before 1st period to turn in their device(s), which will be stored securely and returned at the end of each school day for up to 30 school days.

Examples of damage include:

• Bent or misshapen pins on the pouch
• Pins or the bottom part not closing properly because they are damaged

If a student loses their pouch, they must report it to the Assistant Principals office. A replacement fee of $30 will be charged. Until the replacement pouch arrives, the student must report to the AP office daily before 1st period to turn in their device(s), which will be stored securely and returned at the end of each school day for up to 30 school days.

All personal electronic devices including cell phones, smartwatches, earbuds, etc. must remain locked in a student’s Yondr pouch during the entire school day. If a student is seen using a device or found storing it improperly (e.g., in a backpack, gym locker, pocket, or hand rather than locked in their pouch), the device will be confiscated, reported to administration, and securely stored in the Assistant Principal’s office safe.

As outlined in District policy, parents and guardians play a vital role in supporting the successful implementation of this new districtwide policy. If a student is found in possession of a personal device during the school day, a parent or guardian must come to school to retrieve the device—beginning with the first offense and for every instance thereafter. Devices will not be returned directly to students under any circumstances. All confiscated items will be securely stored in the Assistant Principal’s office and may be picked up between 7:00 AM and 4:45 PM.

The following progressive consequences will apply in accordance with the Rondout Valley CSD Code of Conduct when a personal device is seen, heard or used during school day:

• 1st Offense: Device confiscated and locked in AP office, and parent/guardian must retrieve it.
• 2nd Offense: Device confiscated and locked in AP office; assigned lunch detention, and parent/guardian must retrieve it.
• 3rd Offense: Device confiscated and locked in AP office; assigned afterschool detention, and parent/guardian must retrieve it.
• 4th Offense: Students lose the privilege of using a Yondr pouch and must turn in their device(s) to the AP office each morning before 1st period. The device(s) will be securely stored for the remainder of the marking period and returned to the student at dismissal each day.

Students who refuse to follow these procedures or fail to turn over their device(s) when asked will be considered insubordinate. In these cases:

• The student will be assigned In-School Suspension (ISS)
• A parent/guardian will be contacted
• The device must be picked up by a parent or guardian
• Continued noncompliance will result in additional disciplinary consequences for insubordination. Additionally, the student will be required to watch educational videos and/or research articles about device addiction, followed by completing a quiz or assignment.

If a staff member sees a student using or in possession of a personal device during class, study hall, or lunch, the staff member will contact the AP office immediately, and a staff member will come to confiscate the device, which will be sealed in an envelope and stored securely in the AP office until a parent/guardian retrieves it. If a student refuses to hand over their device, the staff member will contact an administrator.

If a staff member sees a student using or in possession of a personal device in an unstructured setting (e.g., hallway, locker room, or bathroom), the staff member will escort the student to the AP office. If the student refuses to go to the AP office, the staff member will notify an administrator.

If a student is found attempting to bypass the policy by placing a broken phone, “burner” phone, or another object (such as a calculator or deck of cards) in their Yondr pouch to disguise their actual device, it will be treated as non-compliance.

The student will face disciplinary consequences as outlined in the section “What if a student does not comply or is seen using a phone or internet-enabled device?”, including the potential loss of pouch privileges and assignment of detentions or In-School Suspension (ISS) for insubordination. The student’s parent or guardian will be contacted, and the device will be confiscated and stored securely in the AP office until retrieved by a parent/guardian.

Remember, one of our core values at RVHS is trust. This policy is built on the belief that students will act with honesty and integrity. Attempts to deceive or manipulate the system erode that trust and will be addressed seriously.

Any student found with an unauthorized magnetic unlocking device or who deliberately cuts open or tampers with their Yondr pouch to access their phone or other personal devices will be considered in violation of the District’s Code of Conduct. This behavior is viewed as an attempt to circumvent the policy and will result in disciplinary consequences, including the potential loss of pouch privileges and assignment of detentions or In-School Suspension (ISS) for insubordination. The student’s parent or guardian will be contacted, and the device will be confiscated and stored securely in the AP office until retrieved by a parent/guardian. Again, maintaining trust and integrity is essential to this policy, and any attempts to bypass the system will be addressed seriously.

Yes, students may decorate or personalize their Yondr pouch. However, they must keep their assigned number (written on the back exterior of the pouch) clearly visible at all times for identification purposes — you wouldn’t want someone grabbing your pouch by accident since they all look the same! Students must also follow the district dress code when decorating. No offensive language, sayings, nicknames, pictures, or lyrics on pouch are permitted. Pouches may not promote, reference, or solicit illegal drugs.

We realize locking up your phone isn’t the most exciting part of the day. But it’s the law, so if students are required to carry a pouch, they might as well make it their own. At RVHS, we value student expression, creativity, and individuality, so go ahead and add some color, drawings, patches, or stickers, etc. (school-appropriate, of course).

And who knows… you could even submit your decorated pouch into our first-ever Yondr Artwork Contest by snapping a photo once it’s complete. Selected designs will be showcased at this year’s Learning Expo on March 12 — with worthwhile prizes for finalists and a large prize for the top winners, chosen by families, students, staff, and community members. Details coming soon!

Students who do not follow these expectations will have their pouch considered damaged. A replacement fee of $30 will be charged, and the original pouch must be returned to the AP office. Until the replacement pouch arrives, the student will be required to report to the AP office daily before 1st period to turn in their device(s), which will be stored securely and returned at the end of each school day for up to 30 school days.

Each student will be issued one Yondr pouch, and all personal electronic devices must be stored inside that pouch during the school day. If a student brings a device that does not fit in the pouch, such as a tablet, large bluetooth headphones, or speakers, the device will be confiscated upon entry by a staff member or turned over to an administrator. Confiscated items will be securely stored in the Assistant Principal’s office, and the student may pick them up at dismissal. To avoid this situation, students are strongly encouraged to leave oversized or unnecessary personal electronic devices at home. These items are not permitted for use.

Students with a documented medical condition who require access to a personal device during the school day for medical or communication purposes will be provided with a non-locking Yondr pouch secured with a Velcro seal. This accommodation must be documented in the student’s IEP or 504 plan and approved by the District’s Physician.

Examples include students who are nonverbal and use an Augmentative and Alternative Communication (AAC) device as their primary form of communication, or students with diabetes who use a digital pump to monitor glucose levels throughout the day.

Current students with approved medical needs already documented in an IEP or 504 plan will have their accommodation in place before the first day of school—no further approval is required. New accommodation requests must be submitted and approved before the device can be used during the school day. For questions, please contact the Office of Student Support Services.

Constant notifications and texts lead to increased anxiety among adolescents. Face-to-face time with friends and classmates counteracts the isolating, depressive effects of looking at a screen. Teachers and school counselors are there to support your child through this transition.

No. The only exception is for students with documented medical conditions as outlined above.

All English Language Learner (ELL) students will be provided with a school-issued iPad to assist with translation and language support during the school day. If a student requires immediate translation support before receiving their school-issued device, they will be provided with a non-locking, Velcro-sealed Yondr pouch to store and carry their personal translation device, used for translation only. This device must be used exclusively for translation purposes during the school day.

No. District-issued Chromebooks are configured to allow access only to Rondout Valley CSD or Ulster BOCES email accounts. The district network is closed and closely monitored to ensure student safety and data security. To maintain a secure digital learning environment, students cannot access personal email accounts, and parents/guardians cannot email students directly through their school accounts. Allowing external access could expose students and the district network to unauthorized contacts, security breaches, and other potential risks.

All coaches, club advisors, and night school instructors will maintain a Google Classroom to share announcements and updates accessible during the school day using their Chromebook. To stay informed, students are strongly encouraged to listen to the morning and afternoon announcements and regularly check both their school email and Google Classroom. The Athletic Office may also continue to use FamilyID. Coaches may continue to use Remind after school hours to communicate with students and families.

Yes, use on school buses and after school is still permitted.

Yes, there will be an unlocking station located outside the back gym from 2:22 PM – 4:45 PM.

No. Individual teachers will not be able to unlock the pouches. However, there are limited handheld unlocking stations to use in emergencies.

Faculty and staff are expected to model responsible cell phone use (including smartwatches and all personal internet-enabled electronics) and not use their cell-phones in the presence of students during the instructional day. While there may be occasions when administration needs to access their devices for work-related emergencies or important alerts, staff will primarily use radios, landline phones, and email for communication whenever possible.

No, faculty and staff are committed to modeling this new mandate for students by using district-issued devices for instruction. Students will use their school-issued Chromebooks for all academic activities and assignments. Students will no longer be permitted to use their personal devices in the Welcome Center or cafeteria to upload assignments or complete classwork for any reason.

In alignment with the new law, staff are not permitted to take photos or videos of student work using their personal devices during the school day. Teachers will be making the necessary instructional adjustments to support this policy and ensure compliance.

The pouches will be distributed with an assigned number on it. Students are encouraged to write their name on it when they receive it. Students will keep their pouches with them at all times.

According to district policy, the district is not responsible for lost, stolen, or damaged personal electronic devices. Students are discouraged from bringing such devices to school. If a student loses their Yondr pouch, they must report it immediately to the Assistant Principal’s office. A replacement fee of $30 will be charged.

While waiting for the replacement pouch, the student is required to report to the Assistant Principal’s office daily before 1st period to turn in their device(s). The devices will be securely stored and returned to the student at the end of each school day. This procedure will be in place for up to 30 school days.

The district will collect both quantitative data and qualitative feedback from students, staff, and families to assess the effectiveness of Yondr in improving the student experience. Including monitoring academic outcomes such as quarterly grades and proficiency rates on Regents and AP exams. Additionally, in compliance with the new mandate, all schools are required to publish an annual report on the policy’s effectiveness online by August 1st each year.

This year marks the first time since 2007 that smartphones will be completely absent from our classrooms. For nearly two decades, cell phones have been a constant presence during instruction, shaping routines, pacing, and student attention. Even before smartphones, SMS text messaging was already shifting how students communicated, becoming mainstream among teens around 2004 when “unlimited texting” plans took off. That steady stream of messages brought constant distractions long before apps, social media, and streaming arrived in students’ pockets.

With the new bell-to-bell cell phone ban now in place, we see this moment as a transformative opportunity to reset and reimagine our learning environment! Teachers will design lessons that take full advantage of school-issued Chromebooks and other approved platforms, software, and apps for research, collaboration, and creative ways for students to demonstrate their learning without competing with the pull of smartphones and other personal devices.

Classes will start more smoothly with faster settling times, giving students more time each day for meaningful work. Teachers will continue to implement Universal Design for Learning (UDL), providing targeted support for some while benefiting all students in the process. According to the June 2025 Climate Survey, when asked “My teacher provides me individual support when I need it,” only 12% of students disagreed, meaning 88% feel they are receiving individual support. This is a 50% decrease from June 2024, when 24% of students disagreed, showing that our instructional efforts and personalized approach are delivering results.

This change also allows us to address a challenge we all share. Research shows that more than 90% of adults reach for their phones within 10 minutes of feeling bored, and adolescents are no different. By removing phones from the classroom, we help students practice being comfortable with short moments of stillness and reflection — skills that fuel creativity, build resilience, deepen focus, and strengthen problem-solving. Teachers will also incorporate more hands-on learning, movement-based activities, and interactive discussions to keep students engaged, especially those who may find it challenging to be present physically, intellectually, socially, and emotionally for a block of time.

Without phones as a constant distraction, classes will move at a smoother pace, giving students more time to complete assignments, ask questions, receive individual support, and build stronger connections with their teachers and peers.

We encourage all families, students, and staff to attend the Town Hall Meeting on Wednesday, August 27 at 6:00 PM in the RVHS Auditorium to review building-specific plans and ask questions.

If your question isn’t answered above, please submit your questions using this form prior to the meeting. Questions submitted will be addressed during the Town Hall Meeting and featured in the first RVHS Weekly Newsletter following the event.

Every student will still be issued a Yondr pouch, even if they do not bring a personal device. Students do not need to bring an empty pouch to school to show staff at the door. If a device is left at home or in a car, students simply walk through the entrance without showing a pouch; this signals that they do not have a personal device, and they will not be subject to a search.

One of our core values is trust—if a student indicates they do not have a device, staff respect that. However, it is the law and school policy: all students must comply. Attempts to deceive or manipulate the system erode that trust and will be addressed seriously, with consequences applied as appropriate. If a student’s device is seen, heard, or used at any time during the school day, the Code of Conduct applies, and administration may search the student based on probable cause.

At arrival, staff will be stationed at the Welcome Center and athletic entrance to verify that pouches are securely locked, with students holding them upside down for quick confirmation. No student should have any personal internet-enabled device during the school day. All devices—including cell phones, smartwatches, and earbuds—must remain locked in a Yondr pouch and may not be stored in backpacks, gym lockers, pockets, or hands.

If a student is seen using or improperly storing a device, it will be confiscated, reported to administration, and secured in the Assistant Principal’s office safe until the parent/guardian retrieves it.
 

The NYS law establishes the minimum requirement that all internet-enabled devices must be secured from bell to bell. Our district policy goes further by including non-internet personal electronics (e.g., wireless headphones, fitness trackers, e-readers, music players or devices, cameras) because they still cause distraction, can connect to phones, and interfere with teaching and learning. Students may use school-issued Chromebooks and headphones for instructional purposes. Personal devices, including large wireless headphones, must remain locked in pouches or left at home. Click the link below to view the District’s Policy: 5695 Students and Personal Electronic Devices.

The standard Yondr pouch measures 9.45" x 4.33", and all personal electronic devices brought to school must fit inside. If a device does not fit (for example, large Bluetooth headphones, tablets, Kindles, or portable speakers), students must leave it at home, in their car, or not bring it to school at all.

Each student is issued one pouch, and all personal devices must be secured in it during the school day. If a student brings a device that cannot fit, it will be confiscated upon entry or turned over to the Assistant Principal’s office. Confiscated items will be securely stored and returned at dismissal.

To avoid inconvenience, students are strongly encouraged to leave oversized or unnecessary personal electronic devices at home, as they are not permitted for use during the school day.

Yes. Students may use large wireless headphones on after-school buses or at athletic events once the school day has ended. However, during the school day, they are not permitted for use and must either remain secured at home, in a car, or dropped off in the Assistant Principal’s office before 1st period.

All students will be issued one Yondr pouch, and all personal electronic devices that fit inside must be stored in the pouch during the school day. If a student brings a device that does not fit (such as large wireless headphones, tablets, or portable speakers), it will be collected at entry by staff and securely stored in the Assistant Principal’s office until dismissal.

To avoid inconvenience, students are strongly encouraged to leave oversized or unnecessary electronic devices at home. Wired headphones are allowed for use during the school day.

No. While MP3 players themselves aren’t internet-enabled and thus not banned by the state, our district policy does prohibit personal music devices of any kind, including MP3 players, during the school day because of their potential to distract, disrupt mental health, and reduce engagement—with or without internet access. However, wired headphones connected to school-issued Chromebooks are allowed for educational use. Students may access music or audio when explicitly permitted by a teacher through district-approved platforms and devices.

Students will unlock their pouches independently at one of the magnetic unlocking stations located throughout the building. To ensure a smooth process, we are installing over ten (10) unlocking magnets, which is well above Yondr’s recommendation of one per 100 students for our enrollment of approximately 570.

Unlocking stations will be located in:

• The Welcome Center (3 wall-mounted stations)
• The Athletic Entrance Hallway (5 wall-mounted stations)
• The Athletic Vestibule (2 wall-mounted stations)
• The exterior wall of the back gym, conveniently located by the bus loop (for athletes, PM BOCES students, or any student who forgets to unlock before leaving).

Administrators will also have handheld unlocking devices for backup. Stations will be accessible daily from dismissal (2:22 PM) until 4:45 PM, giving students plenty of time to unlock before boarding buses.

Because RVHS does not use bells during the school day, dismissal naturally staggers, reducing congestion. In the morning, high school students will unload from buses before grades 4–8, allowing staff to assist with Yondr check-ins efficiently. Staff will be present at dismissal to monitor and assist, and since unlocking takes only one second per student, the process is expected to be safe, fast, and efficient.

We spent the summer preparing carefully, researching more than a dozen school districts across the state, including Kingston—and anticipating possible scenarios to ensure a smooth rollout. From Kingston’s experience and other districts, we are adopting the following best practices:

• Distributing pouches before the first day of school to reduce first-day stress and confusion.
• Daily check-in system: students self-lock while staff verify pouches at entry. Students will hold pouches upside down to expedite the process.
• Clear, consistent staff response protocols for when devices are seen, heard, or used—whether in class, study hall, lunch, or unstructured spaces (hallways, bathrooms). Staff are being trained to ensure consistency.
• Staff modeling expectations by avoiding personal device use in front of students.
• Multiple mounted unlocking stations at dismissal to minimize congestion and maintain safe exits.
• Strong, ongoing communication with families, students, and staff.
• Defined accommodations for students with medical or ELL needs.

We are also anticipating and planning for instructional shifts, ensuring that classroom time is maximized without these devices or distractions. Teachers are building in more time for individual feedback, project-based learning, and movement-based activities that allow students to move and stay engaged without leaving the classroom.

Safety is our top priority. In any emergency, the school immediately communicates with families using our mass notification system, which includes calls, emails, and texts. Staff remain with students at all times until they are safely dismissed or reunited with families. Students do not need their phones to be accounted for or to connect with parents, as our protocols ensure every child’s safety and communication with families.

We understand concerns from parents, such as when a child leaves school without access to a phone and families rely solely on cell contact. While it may feel like a safety issue, law enforcement and school safety experts emphasize that immediate access to student cell phones during emergencies can actually reduce safety by:

• Drawing attention with sounds or vibrations, even when silenced
• Distracting students from listening to adult directions
• Overloading cell networks and interfering with emergency response
• Spreading unverified or false information that can cause panic, confusion, or disruption

For these reasons, emergency responders strongly recommend that students not have immediate phone access during emergencies. In the event of an evacuation, unlocking stations will be available at the reunification site so students can access their phones. Additionally, building administrators carry mobile emergency kits that include unlocking devices and can be deployed quickly if needed.
