Yondr Pouch Information
MCPSS Yondr Pouch Procedure
Damaged/ Lost Pouch
Any student/ parent who reports a Yondr pouch either lost, stolen, or damaged to the point that prevents the pouch from successfully closing will be required to purchase a new pouch at the cost of $30.00 each. If a new Yondr pouch is not purchased to replace the lost, stolen, or damaged pouch, the student CANNOT bring his or her cell phone or other electronic devices, to include “smart” watches and earbuds, on campus for any reason. Any student found to be in possession of a cellular telephone or other electronic devices and who reports that his or her assigned Yondr pouch has been lost, stolen, or damaged, must immediately surrender his or her cell phone to the administrative office and a parent will be required to retrieve.
Phone Out of Pouch
According to the current (2023 – 2025) Student Code of Conduct, the offense designated as B-6 states as follows:
| 6. Usage of electronic devices including communication and emerging technologies ‐ While on campus, electronic devices shall be powered off and stored away until the dismissal bell rings. |
|---|
This offense will be used to address matters involving a student who is discovered to be in possession of a cellular phone, smart watch, or ear buds outside of a Yondr pouch at a time designated during which student cell phones and other electronic devices should be secured inside a Yondr pouch. Progressive discipline as stated in the Student Code of Conduct will be followed for each incident of a B-6 offense. When investigated if it is discovered that a student’s assigned Yondr pouch is lost, stolen, or damaged, then the process mentioned above under Damaged/ Lost Pouch will be followed. If it is discovered that the pouch was intentionally damaged, further disciplinary action including possible suspension for Student Code of Conduct, Group C offense, C-4 Criminal Mischief, may be appropriate.
Forgotten Pouch
