Yondr in Crowley ISD

 
In Crowley ISD, we’re committed to creating a learning environment where every student can thrive academically, socially and emotionally. In support of House Bill 1481, the district has received a grant to implement secured Yondr pouches to keep our campuses phone free for students in grades 9-12, starting in the 2026-27 school year. 

This is a proven, bell-to-bell approach that supports student focus, well-being and connection by removing mobile phone distractions during the school day.
 

Why Yondr?

For over a decade, Yondr has helped schools across all 50 states and more than 35 countries build healthier, more engaging school cultures. Their pouch-based program, combined with hands-on guidance and dedicated support, has led to powerful results:
 
  • 86% reported improved safety and student wellness
  • 84% saw increased engagement in class
  • 68% experienced academic gain
  • 44% reduced behavioral referrals

How it works: Turn off phone and place inside pouch. Push the lock button and take the pouch with you. To unlock, tap green ring to base and press button.

How the Program Works
Each student will be assigned a Yondr pouch - a secure, lockable case for storing personal devices. Students are responsible for bringing their pouch to and from school each day and keeping it in good condition.

  • Upon arrival: Students power off their phone, earbuds, smart glasses, smartwatch (or switch to airplane mode), place all devices in the pouch and lock it as they enter their campus.
  • During the day: Students keep the locked pouch with them in their backpack or other approved bags, not in their pockets.
  • At dismissal: Students unlock pouches at designated stations to retrieve their devices.

This process is quick, simple and will be supervised by staff as part of our daily routine.

Working Together For Student Success
Crowley ISD recognizes that implementing a new districtwide initiative requires partnership with our families. We appreciate the continued support of our students, parents and staff as we work together to create classrooms where students are fully engaged, present and focused on learning. The cost of replacing lost/damaged pouches is $20 each.
