YONDR is looking forward to joining the #ECIS Leadership Conference 2026 in Lisbon, Portugal, from April 23–25. Conversations like these are an opportunity to hear how schools across different communities are approaching student focus, wellbeing, and the role of technology in the classroom. We value being part of this ongoing conversation in education and the shift toward more intentional and phone-free learning environments. If you’ll be there, we’d be glad to connect. #phonefree #Education #SchoolLeadership #StudentWellbeing #Yondr

Inside a Wicklow school’s phone-free rollout: The hook wasn’t the pouch. It was the change in school culture. Buy-in wasn’t a checkbox. It was the strategy on policy development, rollout, and ongoing support. Wicklow is a snapshot of a national shift driven by Department of Education guidance restricting mobile phone use aiming to improve wellbeing, reduce cyberbullying and exposure to harmful content, and support more focused learning environments.

Just days until we’re live at #BETT 2026! Who’s joining us in London? 🎉 Our special session on 22 January delves into phone-bans vs phone-free schools. Can't make the session? Stop by Stand NM58 to chat about how Yondr can help your school go phone-free.

While #Maine has not set a statewide regulation for phones in schools, it did mandate school districts establish their own policies. Camden Hills is the largest public high school in Knox or Waldo counties to implement a full-day ban. Beginning this fall, phones have been banned not just in class, but all throughout the #school day. "Break and lunch periods are noticeably louder... because kids are socializing face-to-face instead of keeping their heads down in phones." — Cooper Marshall, Assistant Principal, Camden Hills Regional HS Read the Article: https://lnkd.in/e4CtFv5c #PhoneFreeSchool #SmartphoneBan #ClassroomFocus #SchoolPolicy #DigitalDetox #Yondr #Education #CampusTechControl

Ahead of the curve, Cloudcroft Municipal Schools in New Mexico implemented the YONDR Phone-Free Schools Program in the Fall of 2024. According to data from the New Mexico Public Education Department, Cloudcroft Middle School saw a significant jump in math, reading, and science proficiency rates. “Being able to put the Yondr pouches to use has helped a lot. I see them socially interacting more, they’re more professional in their communication with teachers, they’re nicer to each other, we’ve seen cyber-bullying decrease greatly in the last two years." -Cloudcroft Middle School Principal Nolene Adams Read the Article: https://lnkd.in/e9F26S5Z #SchoolSafety #DigitalWellbeing #StudentSuccess #PhoneFreeSchools #AcademicAchievement #MiddleSchool #EdTech #Yondr #CloudcroftMiddleSchool #NewMexico #Education #KRWG #JonnyCoker #cyberbullyingPrevention
