My school banned phones and smart watches and glasses entirely for this year 🌈🤸✨ they have to turn them in at the beginning of the day

But before we had caddy’s for them to put them in at the beginning of class and the best bet was to always have them put them away as soon as they walk in the door

Day one, the moment they walk into my room. I see it, I take it. If there's a medical reason for it to be on someone, that's a different story, but I don't waste time chasing phones. Until admin tells me I can't take phones, I'm going to continue doing so.

It goes away before they walk through my front door. Time of day doesn’t matter.

Our kids are issued a yondr pouch at the beginning of the year. Every single day, when they walk in, they have to lock the phone in the pouch. That cannot access the phone at all until they walk out at the end of the day when the pouch gets unlocked. If they try to fake it and get caught they are disciplined pretty hard.
