What are schools seeing after implementing phone-free school policies?

Research continues to highlight the impact personal devices can have on student focus, engagement, and well-being. Schools across the country that have implemented phone-free practices have also reported positive results, including increased student engagement, improved academic performance, and fewer behavioral referrals.

As Goshen Community Schools prepares to implement Yondr pouches for students in grades 7-12 this fall, we remain focused on creating learning environments where students can engage with their teachers, connect with their peers, and focus on learning.

¿Qué están viendo las escuelas después de implementar políticas de escuelas sin teléfonos?

La investigación continúa destacando el impacto que los dispositivos personales pueden tener en la concentración, el compromiso y el bienestar de los estudiantes. Las escuelas de todo el país que han implementado prácticas sin teléfonos también han reportado resultados positivos, incluyendo un mayor compromiso estudiantil, un mejor rendimiento académico y menos referencias por comportamiento.

Mientras Goshen Community Schools se prepara para implementar las fundas Yondr para los estudiantes de los grados 7-12 este otoño, seguimos enfocados en crear entornos de aprendizaje donde los estudiantes puedan interactuar con sus maestros, conectarse con sus compañeros y concentrarse en el aprendizaje.

We've made important updates to our student device policy for the 2026-27 school year.

Grades 7-12 (Yondr Program)
• Goshen Community Schools will now provide a Yondr pouch at no cost to every student in grades 7-12.
• Students will receive their pouch on the first day of school and return it to the school on the last day of the school year.
• Replacement pouches will cost $35 if one is lost or damaged beyond normal wear.

Grades K-6
While students in grades K-6 will not use Yondr pouches, Indiana Senate Bill 78 still requires wireless communication devices to be inaccessible during the school day. As outlined in the student handbook, students in grades K-4, upon arrival, will:
1. Turn their phone/WCD off or switch it to airplane mode.
2. Turn their phone/WCD into the office to be stored during the day.
3. Pick up their device at the end of the day.

Students in 5th and 6th Grade will:
1. Turn their phone/WCD off or switch it to airplane mode.
2. Phone/WCD will be placed in the student’s locker and will remain there during the school day.
3. Retrieve their device from the locker at the end of the day.

Our goal is the same for every school: creating focused learning environments where students can fully engage with their teachers and classmates.

Hemos realizado importantes actualizaciones en nuestra política de dispositivos para estudiantes para el año escolar 2026-27.

Grados 7-12 (Programa Yondr)
• Las Escuelas Comunitarias de Goshen ahora proporcionarán una bolsa Yondr sin costo alguno a todos los estudiantes de los grados 7 a 12.
• Los alumnos recibirán su bolsa el primer día de clases y la devolverán a la escuela el último día del año escolar.
• Las fundas de repuesto costarán 35 dólares si se pierden o se dañan más allá del desgaste normal.

Grados K-6
Si bien los estudiantes de los grados K-6 no usarán las bolsas Yondr, el Proyecto de Ley 78 del Senado de Indiana aún exige que los dispositivos de comunicación inalámbrica sean inaccesibles durante la jornada escolar. Como se describe en el manual del estudiante, los estudiantes de los grados K-4, al llegar, deberán:
1. Apaguen el teléfono/WCD o actívenlo en modo avión.
2. Entreguen su teléfono/WCD en la oficina para que se guarde durante el día.
3. Recoger su dispositivo al final del día.

Los alumnos de 5.º y 6.º grado:
1. Apaguen el teléfono/WCD o actívenlo en modo avión.
2. El teléfono/WCD se colocará en el casillero del estudiante y permanecerá allí durante el
día escolar.
3. Recoger su dispositivo del casillero al final del día.

Nuestro objetivo es el mismo para todas las escuelas: crear entornos de aprendizaje estimulantes donde los estudiantes puedan interactuar plenamente con sus profesores y compañeros.

Yondr Frequently Asked Question #2: What if I need to reach my child during the school day?

Parents and guardians can continue to contact their child's school office just as they have in the past. School staff will ensure important messages are delivered to students when needed.

Students will also continue to have access to their school email through their school-issued device for academic purposes.

If a student needs to contact a parent or caregiver during the school day, they can do so through the school office.

While personal communication devices will be secured during school hours, communication between families and schools will continue uninterrupted.

Pregunta Frecuente #2 de Yondr: ¿Qué hago si necesito contactar a mi hijo/a durante el día escolar?

Los padres y tutores pueden seguir contactando la oficina de la escuela de su hijo/a como lo han hecho hasta ahora. El personal escolar se asegurará de que los mensajes importantes se entreguen a los estudiantes cuando sea necesario.

Los estudiantes también continuarán teniendo acceso a su correo electrónico escolar a través de su dispositivo emitido por la escuela para fines académicos.

Si un estudiante necesita contactar a un padre o cuidador durante el día escolar, puede hacerlo a través de la oficina de la escuela.

Si bien los dispositivos de comunicación personal se guardarán durante el horario escolar, la comunicación entre las familias y las escuelas continuará sin interrupciones.

Yondr Frequently Asked Question #1: Will students still have their phones?

Yes! Students in grades 7-12 will continue to bring their phones to school and keep them in their possession throughout the school day.

The difference is that phones and other personal communication devices will be secured in a locked Yondr pouch during school hours and unlocked at dismissal.

Students keep their devices with them—the devices simply won't be accessible during the school day.

Pregunta Frecuente #1 de Yondr: ¿Los estudiantes seguirán teniendo sus teléfonos?

¡Sí! Los estudiantes de los grados 7-12 continuarán trayendo sus teléfonos a la escuela y los tendrán en su posesión durante el día escolar.

La diferencia es que los teléfonos y otros dispositivos de comunicación personal se guardarán en una bolsa Yondr con cerradura durante el horario escolar y se desbloquearán al final del día.

Los estudiantes conservan sus dispositivos consigo; simplemente no serán accesibles durante el día escolar.
